The country's top three sides Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs were all in action on Saturday, and fans on social media were quick to react to a bad day for the trio.
While some parts of the country despaired, others rejoiced as the Brazilians were knocked out of the Caf Champions League 3-1 on aggregate by Al-Ahly following Saturday's 1-1 draw.
In the Premier Soccer League, Pirates were next in action, hoping to return to winning ways after last weekend's defeat in the Soweto derby, but were held to a 0-0 draw by a resilient Golden Arrows side.
