Cape Town Spurs remain on the brink of relegation from the DStv Premiership after the Urban Warriors were held to a goalless draw by SuperSport United at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Friday night.
From the outset, SuperSport posed a challenge for Spurs as Shandre Campbell, in particular, sought opportunities to break the deadlock. Despite his efforts, Spurs thwarted his advances effectively.
However, the match took a decisive turn in the 16th minute when Gadiel Kamagi received a red card for a challenge on Campbell, leaving Spurs with ten men. Despite this setback, they managed to repel Matsatsantsa’s attacks, with goalkeeper Neil Boshoff making crucial saves, including one from Lyle Lakay’s free kick.
Both teams had chances to score in the first half, with Katlego Maphathe and Bradley Grobler testing the opposing defences. However, neither side could find the breakthrough, and the half ended with the scoreline level.
The second half mirrored the first, with SuperSport pressing forward in search of a goal. Campbell continued to trouble the Spurs defence, while Ashley Cupido came close with a free kick, only to be denied by Boshoff.
Despite a late surge from SuperSport, including a near-goal cleared off the line, neither team could find the back of the net, resulting in a share of the points.
The draw sees Spurs gaining one more point, although they remain at the bottom of the DStv Premiership standings. For SuperSport United, it was a missed opportunity to secure victory on home turf.
Great fight by our Warriors with 10 men on the park 💪🏼🛡️#CAPETOWNSPURS#URBANWARRIORS#PSL#DSTVPREMIERSHIP#OURYOUTHOURFUTURE#CAPETOWN#SOUTHAFRICA pic.twitter.com/fh57QHl0c0
