Marumo Gallants FC jumped to 11th spot on the DStv Premiership table with a 2-1 win over Cape Town City on Saturday evening. Read more ➡️
Just a single alteration from City after Tuesday’s come-from-behind win over Chippa United appeared in Nathan Fasika, while Gallants started Joseph Malongoane for the first time this season.
However, City were dealt a set-back shortly after the half-hour mark and had Keanu Cupido come on off the bench for Fasika as the latter had landed awkwardly on the field of play. It is a missed that would come back to haunt the Citizens four minutes to the break as Ranga Chivaviro who had just come on for Sibusiso Sibeko gave Gallants the lead from a ball by Sizwe Mdlinzo.
This arrival of Mayo, who were key in the win over Chippa, energized the Citizens and instantly brought a lot of the forward men like Jaedin Rhodes in possession.
