The Bafana midfield kingpin almost made it 2-0 on 25 minutes with a trademark pile-driver from the edge of the box as he stung goalkeeper Ian Otieno, who needed a second take to hold on to the ball. Matthews nearly made it 3-0 just before the break, but his shot went inches wide of the far post as it also eluded the on-running Sales.
