Gavin Hunt's SuperSport United fought back to earn a 1-1 draw against Sekhukhune United in a thrilling Betway Premiership encounter. Despite a string of missed chances and a penalty miss, SuperSport were rescued by Samir Nurkovic's spectacular bicycle kick. Sekhukhune goalkeeper Badra Sangare was the star of the show, making numerous impressive saves to frustrate the visitors.
Sekhukhune United goalkeeper Badra Sangare was the hero of the day, saving a penalty and making numerous impressive saves to deny SuperSport United in their Betway Premiership clash at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt, known for his demanding standards, cut a frustrated figure despite the late equaliser from Samir Nurkovic.
He gestured wildly in disappointment after missed opportunities, especially a penalty miss by Gampani Lungu, which Sangare saved with ease. Sangare was rightfully awarded the man-of-the-match accolade for his exceptional performance, denying SuperSport time and again with crucial saves. The visitors started brightly, with Nurkovic providing a dangerous cross for Christian Saile, who headed wide. Nurkovic himself then hit the side netting before Lebo Maboe threatened the Sekhukhune goal. Hunt paced anxiously on the sidelines, his team squandering promising attacks and making poor decisions in the final third. Their defence also looked shaky on the left side, allowing Sekhukhune too much space. Just before half-time, Sekhukhune should have taken the lead. Mokwena couldn't beat Ricardo Goss one-on-one, and Sipho Mbule then blazed the rebound over the bar. The second half saw Sekhukhune take the lead through a headed goal by Relebohile Mokhuwana after a Keletso Makgalwa free-kick. Hunt responded by introducing Oratile Moloisane, who brought some energy and creativity to their play. SuperSport then earned a penalty for a handball by Katlego Mohamme, but Lungu's weak shot was easily saved by Sangare. It looked like another defeat for SuperSport until Nurkovic produced a stunning bicycle kick that left Sangare no chance. Despite the late goal, Hunt's face remained unchanged, a testament to his relentless pursuit of perfection
