Bantu took all three points from LKS on Friday evening with a 2:1 victory in the Premier League's second round of fixtures. The visitors took the lead after ten minutes and never looked back, while LKS pulled one goal back in the second half. By then the match had already settled into its rhythm.
The result keeps Bantu top of the table with four points from two games, one win and a draw. LKS slip further down to eighth, now sitting on three points after two outings. And here's the thing, the gap between them at the top and bottom half of the table opens up quickly when you play the sides in different strata.
LKS came into this match having beaten Machoха 2:1 in their opener, but their previous meeting with Bantu ended 5:1 in the visitors' favour back in May. Bantu themselves dropped points against Manonyane 3:3 last weekend before that draw with LMPS. Neither side had much to prove at this stage, but the standings tell you everything.
Two rounds in and the table is already taking shape. Bantu's four points put them a point clear, while LKS have lost ground after that opening win. The match itself was decided in those first ten minutes, and the rest was just management.
