All Square

The weekend matches saw two draws between Mamelodi Sundowns and Moroka Swallows on Saturday and between Super Sport United and Orlando Pirates on Sunday respectively.

The first match on Saturday produced fireworks and it was goals gallore as the game ended three all. The Dube birds were on the lead as early as the 6th minute courtesy of their new signing from Maritzburg United, Felix Obada. The visitors doubled their lead a few minutes later before Modise reduced the deficit to one goal through a spotkick.

Mamelodi Sundowns came back like a house on fire and netted the equaliser on the 65th minute before Swallows went on the lead for the second time in the match .Manqele cancelled the lead five minutes from time to declare a tie.

The game between Pirates and United did not live up to the expectations. The game ended in a dull goalless draw with both teams finishing with 10 men due to redcards. Many expected to see goals as the last five premier league titles are in the trophy cabinet of these two teams.
