Moroka Swallows and Thanda Royal Zulu (TRZ) remained in the positions they occupied before their 0-0 draw in an entertaining Premier Soccer League match at the Olen Park Stadium in Potchefstroom on Sunday. Swallows are in seventh place with 32 points and TRZ are seven places behind with 21.
The Birds left it late — then swooped to a scintillating 3-1 Absa Premiership win over Bloemfontein Celtic with three goals in the last ten minutes of play. After Malawian defender Patrick Mabedi had equalised for Moroka Swallows, with a superbly timed header in the 79th minute, the team completed their scoring spree with late goals from substitutes Sandile Ndlovu and Alfred Phiri.
