Matsatsantsa steamed into the first half brightly, controlling the showdown but missing out on a couple of clear-cut chances.
As the half progressed, momentum swung back in the Dube Birds’ favour, pushing forward in numbers – searching for an opener without any luck.
However, it was the home side who spent the majority of the first period toiling at the finish line of the visitors.
The showpiece went into the half-time break goalless.
ACTION-PACKED

In the 55th minute of the game, former Bafana Bafana captain Thulani Hlatshwayo broke the deadlock to put Gavin Hunt’s side in front.

The final whistle blew, with SuperSport with not believing what had just happened as they dropped points.
As a result, Matsatsantsa are currently placed third on the table with 21 points, while Swallows find themselves in the 14th position with 13 points. They have each played 12 games thus far.
