On Saturday evening, Royal AM secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Sekhukhune United at the Chatsworth Stadium.
Babina Noko were the better side in the early stages, with Victor Letsoalo missing a golden opportunity to give them the lead against his former side.
However, Thabo Matlaba broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time to give Royal AM the lead. Ruzaigh Gamildien sealed the win for the hosts with a low shot unmarked at the back post after a square pass by Elias Pelembe.
The result sees Royal AM leapfrog Sekhukhune in seventh place on the table while United drop to eighth.
