Magezi FC hold Witbank Spurs to a 2-2 draw

Last weekend marked the starting point of the second round of the National First Division (NFD). Magezi proved that they really meant it when they said they would escape the relegation axe at the end of the season when they held Witbank Spurs to a 2-2 draw at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

The former Black Leopards killer striker, Thembisani Nevhulamba, proved his worth when he scored Magezi’s second goal. This after Silas Maziya had scored the opening goal in the 24^th minute. Magezi realized that it was not their day when Nevhulamba missed a fortune late in the game. They were awarded a penalty and Nevhulamba shot wide from the white spot. Magezi moved one step up on the log, following the draw. They are now in the second-last position on the log with 12 points accumulated from 16 outings.

In the other NFD matches, Black Leopards came back with the maximum points from their away match against Milano United which at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town. The full-time score was 2-1. Mziwokuthula Zimu and Khayalihke Shozi scored for Black Leopards while Milano’s solitary goal came via Julius Stemmer.

The log leaders, Thanda Royal Zulu, continued to pave their way up by beating Mbombela United 2-1. Cape Town All Stars beat Santos 1-0 at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.

The University of Pretoria and Amazulu shared the glory, following their 1-1 draw at the Tuks Stadium in Pretoria. Real Kings lost 0-1 to FC Cape Town at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in Durban. Mthatha Bucks and Jomo Cosmos played to a goalless draw at the Mthatha Stadium.
