MAGESI HOLD CAPETOWN CITY DRAW

Betway Premiership newcomers Magesi battled bravely in the rain to come away from Athlone Stadium with a 0-0 draw against Cape Town City on Sunday, October 27.

Eric Tinkler’s side made all the headway on home soil, but the closest they came to breaking the deadlock was when Heaven Sereetsi saw his shot come back off the woodwork early in the second half.

The Citizens (12th) remain ahead of Dikwena tsa Meetse (13th) on goal difference, although both teams went level with Richards Bay (11th) on five points.

City looked to build on their 1-0 win over SuperSport United on September 28, while Magesi were riding the crest of a wave after beating Orlando Pirates 3-2 in the Carling Knockout round of 16 last weekend.

The game marked a special occasion for Thami Mkhize, who was making a club record 250th appearance for the hosts, who created the better chances in the wet conditions.
