At a rain-swept Dobsonville Stadium Cape Town City appeared to revel in the “home” conditions and left a plucked Swallows FC shivering in the wet in a decisive 4-0 MTN8 semifinal second leg victory to the Citizens on Wednesday night.
Winger Surprise Ralani’s brace 42nd and 67th, and strikes by Fagrie Lakay 58th and substitute Edmilson Dove 88th capped a polished display by Eric Tinkler’s City.
Against a keyed-up City, slickly set out to press Swallows high and pressurise the Birds with quick movement, Swallows capitulated. The first shot in anger came from Citizens striker Mduduzi Mdantsane, turning in the area and hitting over the bar. Strike partner Fagrie Lakay fashioned space in the centre outside the box, striking hard but high.
In the 53rd, substitute Mwape Musonda chested into the patch of wing Kethukutula Ndlovu to volley past the upright. Then Musonda won an aerial challenge against Nathan Fasika to burst into the box, beat Marques and strike onto the right post from a tight angle.
