In addition, Richards Bay smashed four past Cape Town Spurs, Sekhukhune United easily beat Steenberg United 3-1 and University of Pretoria were undone 1-0 by Polokwane City - which means the top three clubs all lost!
The Hammer Boys finally got their show on the road by netting all three goals at the Giant Stadium within the opening 40 minutes, through Temptation Chiwunga (penalty), Bafana Kali and Sipho Zwane.
This was a first loss for the Spirited Ones, for whom Roscoe Petersen scored but they still go into the Christmas break as log leaders.
Royal AM also grabbed their opening victory against a lack-luster Ea Lla Koto, who've conceded 8 goals in 5 games.
A deserved brace from Sedwyn George coupled with Sibusiso Masina's single effort helped the KZN outfit to secure a fifth point, while Stars are stuck on just two.
