Feathers were strewn all over the pitch at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit after TS Galaxy made history by becoming the first team to inflict defeat on Swallows FC in the DStv Premiership this season on Tuesday evening.
Late goals by veterans Lindokuhle Mbatha and Bevan Fransman in the 84th and 87th minutes respectively cancelled Ruzaigh Gamildien’s 50th minute goal giving the Rockets a 2-1 win.
This is Swallows’ first loss since March last year when they were still campaigning in the GladAfrica Championship.
Meanwhile, a great move by Fortune Makaringe resulted in him scoring his third goal of the season in the 62nd minute when his team Orlando Pirates beat Bloemfontein Celtic 1-0 at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto.
Celtic were reduced to 10 men after match referee Masixole Bambiso red carded captain Ndumiso Mabena on the stroke of half time following a late challenge on Linda Mntambo.
In another match, AmaZulu defeated SuperSport United 1-0 at King’s Park Stadium, Durban.
Vetrran striker Siphelele Mthembu’s tap in in the 24th minute gave Usuthu the maximum points.
