Steve Komphela was pleased at how his reign as head coach of Moroka Swallows started, with his side holding his former club Lamontville Golden Arrows to a 1-1 draw in their opening DStv Premiership fixture at Mpumalanga Stadium in Hammarsdale, Durban, o...
Striker Tshegofatsho Mabasa earned his new side Swallows a point cancelling Siyanda Mthanti's 50th minute opener within a few minutes after coming on as a late substitute. Komphela previously worked with Mabasa at Bloemfontein Celtic.
“But I'm happy with Mabasa because goal scorers must understand that when they get hired and get opportunities to play at a football club their job is to score and it starts now. If he scores a goal a match he's going to end with 30 at the end of the season. Indeed Komphela's team look stable and watchable throughout Saturday's match with other new signings like Andile Jali, Lantshene Phalane and Dumsani Zuma all doing well in the attacking formation that Komphela had.
“He controlled the team. He gives the team the personality that we wish to see when we're going forward. But something special happened when we made a substitute.
