Magesi, the 2024 Carling Knockout champions, struggled to respond and their attacking woes persisted. Matters were evened numerically when Isaac Cisse received a red card for Arrows in the 61st minute, but the visitors held firm to see out the result.
The defeat leaves Magesi near the bottom of the table and entrenched in the relegation battle, while Golden Arrows gained valuable breathing room in mid-table.
