Golden Arrows: form and statistics

Golden Arrows suffered a 1-0 loss to Sekhukhune in their last game, managing just one shot on target throughout the game. The game was appearing as if it would end in a draw until in the 93rd minute, when 37-year-old Bradley Grobler scored the winner for Sekhukhune. The Backheel Boys have now lost their last three games. Prior to this losing run, it appeared the team was back in business after their round one loss to Siwelele, because they enjoyed three straight unbeaten runs before now needing to fight for points. They sit 11th on the table with seven points in seven games, scoring six goals and conceding nine.
