Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>CAPE TOWN \u2013 Ten-Man Swallows FC retained their DStv Premiership unbeaten record after they held Cape Town City to a 1-all draw at the Cape Town Stadium on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Both goals were scored in the first half.<\/p>\n

The result means that Swallows will remain in third position and City retain their 7th place on the latest standings.<\/p>\n

Both sides looked to grab the initiative at the start with fast-paced movements deep into opposition territory.<\/p>\n

Swallows scored the opening goal in the 13th minute at a time when it seemed City would be the likelier to score first. Midfielder Kgaogelo Sekgota struck a speculative left-footed low drive from outside the City penalty area and goalkeeper Dutchman Peter Leeuwenburgh, with a despairing dive, spotted the ball too late (1-0).<\/p>\n

City responded 10 minutes later with the equalizer from the penalty spot through striker Mduduzi Mdatsene (1-1). Swallows might have aggrieved that referee Victor Gomes didn’t award them a free-kick instead.<\/p>\n

Two minutes later, City came close to scoring again when they caught Swallows’ central defence napping. However, poor options by City in the striking zone let Swallows off the hook.<\/p>\n

City finished the first half strongly with delightful inter-passing plays around the fringes of the opposition goalmouth and the half chances that followed went begging.<\/p>\n

Early second-half play was a duplicate of the first-half play and the game suddenly came alive when Swallows central defender Junaid Sait (Swallows) was shown a red card in the 66th minute.<\/p>\n

Strangely in the ensuing play Swallows enjoyed the major share of possession and managed to pin City down in their half.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, City’s neighbours Stellenbosch FC suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The only goal of the match was scored 30 minutes into the first half by striker Thembisani Nevhulamba.<\/p>\n
