After collecting maximum points in their opening National First Division League match at the Thohoyandou Stadium two weeks ago, Black Leopards shared the spoils with African Warriors last Sunday. The match ended in a goalless draw at the Charles Mopedi Stadium in Phuthaditshaba.
The result leaves both Black Leopards and Warriors with four points each. Leopards dropped from the top spot on the log to the third place, following the draw, while Warriors are lying in the fourth position. Cape Town All Stars maintained their unbeaten record by beating Royal Eagles 1-0 at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban. This after they registered a 2-0 victory over Moroka Swallows at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town two weeks ago.
Royal Eagles realized that it was not their day when they missed a fortune in the 29th minute of the game. They were awarded a penalty after Solly Hlope handled the ball within the box. The Stars' keeper, Kyle Peters, braved the shot and pulled off a brilliant save. Cape Town All Stars are now shining on top of the log.
In the other match that was also played in the KZN, Thanda Royal Zulu played to a goalless draw with Amazulu at the Umhlathuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay. Baroka FC continued to collect the maximum points, following their 1-0 victory over Mbombela United at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
In their Cape Town derby at the Parow Park Stadium, Santos shared the glory with Vasco da Gama when they played to a 1-1 draw. Witbank Spurs earned their first point of the season by holding Highlands Park to a goalless draw at the Themba Senamela Stadium in Witbank.
Moroka Swallows beat FC Cape Town 1-0 at the Dobsonville Stadium. The goal which earned Swallows three vital points came via Siyabonga Nomvete in the 78th minute.
