That said, we are more than capable of taking the win from the Brazilians. A level head is needed on the field, as well as determination to secure a win, but it is not an impossible task If you are a supporter and can get to the stadium, we would love to see you there in support of the boys in this important encounter in our 2018/19 season. We have suffered a home defeat to Siwelele at the Princess Magogo Stadium tonight. From the first minute of the game, the team just did not seem to get into the groove of the game and allowed Bloem Celtic to get behind the defence.
We had a couple of moments of promising play, but nothing that looked threatening enough to Tignyemb who had an easy night in the goals tonight. In the 23rd minute Celtics persistence in playing the ball deep up field paid off when Mabasa found himself one on one with Gumede and made no mistake in his shot, giving the visitors an early lead in the game.
Six minutes later he was fouled again outside the box and he converted the resulting free kick to make it 2:0. The opponent drew one back shortly and the score was 2:1 till end of first half. The second half was a contested affair with very little to show. Our team played in patches and managed to deal with the direct balls played to a Eleazar Rodgers. It was only towards the end of the match where the opponent was more forceful and applied more pressure to try win the match but we were more concentrated and dealt with the threat. The match ended 2:1 but still we couldn’t break into the Top 8 bracket because of the Celtic win against Kaizer Chiefs earlier on.
A half time substitution from us saw Conco replace Sabelo in an attempt to up the tempo of the game, which did not have the results that we wanted. Although we seemed to dominate the field in the second half, we could just not break past the defence of our opponents. Lamola had a chance to pull one back, but Tignyemb managed to fall on the ball, killing it and denying the one decent attempt we had on target.
It was an error at the back that allowed the attacking Celtic players through that we lost the lead. A good fight for dominance took place in the last 15 minutes of the game with both sides trying hard to score but failing. A point off the first game of the season and a lot to build on as we return home for our first home game of the season on Wednesday night against SuperSport United.
The players created chances and pushed into the final third but were not able to convert chances. Late into the half we had a brilliant attempt at goal from Khwela who had been pushing hard the entire half. His shot was deflected and a lob back into the box found Nzuza under the ball. He struck the ball well in the air, and directed the header past Sundowns keeper to find the late equaliser.
We took advantage of this, opening up the game more and feeding the ball wide on occasion to penetrate the defense to create scoring opportunities. While we managed on a number of occasions to play into range, we could just not find the final touches to capitalise on the chances created. Our breakthrough came in the 78th minute. Parusnath starting and finishing the play as he played up the middle, played wide to Mutizwa who delivered the ball to Conco on the far post. The brilliant finish saw Parusnath run back onto the played back ball and put it past Ndlovu for our second goal.
We now look forward to being competitive in the league. We suffered another first round exit in the Telkom Knockout tonight against Baroka FC at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. In a disruptive weekend that saw the kick off time of the game being changed after only arriving in Polokwane in the early hours of the morning after a delay in travel, the weekend just did not improve for us as we went a goal down in the first minute against Bakgaga. From the kick off, they played to the right and then put a well placed cross in for Makagaka.
He struck it well and found the back of the net. We will return home to prepare for our league match next weekend against Cape Town City in the mother city on Saturday 18th. We take a break from league action and we turn our attention to the MTN8 as we travel to Gauteng to take on Mamelodi Sundowns at Lucas Moripe Stadium tomorrow at 15h00. This will be the second consecutive year we will be paricipating in the Wafa Wafa (do or die) competition. Last yaer our first game of the season was an MTN encounter againt Bidvest Wits. The game ended up going to penalties to decide the winner after drawing 2-all with the Clever Boys after full time. A dramatic ending saw us eventually knocked out in the quarter finals after Wits won 4-3 on penalties. A stronger start will be the aim for the side tomorrow, and Sundowns will be a tough opponent to beat.

We have been knoocked out of the MTN8 in the first round, with Sundowns managing to score twice to ensure a win. The team gave a good performance but just never managed to get into the firing zone and find accuracy on the shots we had at the Sundowns goal. Although we lost the game, coach Larsen was happy with the performance with the team who went toe-to-toe with Masandawana. The team tried playing offensively and also on the front foot but we made mistakes at the back and got punished for it. We allowed Vilakazi to open the scoring for the home side in the 40th minute. The persistance of the play from Sundowns and their domination of ball posession in the first half allowed them to get behind the defence, create a gap, and give Vilakazi a chance that he made no mistake on.

An early defensive lapse handed our opponents an early lead but we immediately showed intent to come back and almost did when Seth Parusnath missed a header after some good build up play. We continued to probe for an equalizer but the game was handed to Amazulu when Ntuli blatantly dragged the ball with his hand before being fouled, an incident that took place right in front of the referee. We then had a mountain to climb and were unable to convert any of the chances we created. We now look forward to having back our injured and suspended players for the 2nd round, namely: Buthelezi, Nkombelo, Zuke, Ndwandwe, Phiri and Bilankulu.
Ndlovu did well between the sticks for the visitors and had more to contend with than Gumede on the opposite side of the field. We were forced to make an early change just before the break, as Venter left the field after twisting his knee. He was replaced by Sibiya. It was a seamless change as our offensive game plan continued just minutes after as Lamola had a shot on target. The second half saw an impressive work rate from the team. Conco once again did well to play the ball into favourable positions. His work rate and skill got us into the box, he played a great cut back to Mutizwa who made no mistake to find the back of the net.

Coming back onto the field in the second half, we had a flurry of play that saw us have some better opportunities to score. Sibiya did well on the field, playing the ball up and linking well with Lunga to create opportunities. We could just not find the mark and get an equaliser. Sirino then added pressure on us. He set up a number of plays for Mamelodi Sundowns and put us on the back foot in the last third. In the 70th minute, Sirino came at us on the near side, put a cross in that went across the face of the goal where Arendse made a diving header shot on the low ball.
