Pressure was mounting for the new man, Jan Olde Riekerink, who replaced Benni McCarthy at the helm and is yet to settle in South Africa.It was a defensive error from the Chilli Boys that led to the goal. Phetso Maphanga was the main culprit. He threw the ball in to the box and Kevin Moyo failed to control the pass as he tried to bring Maphanga in to play.
The ball rushed in to the path of Maphanga in a high speed and couldn't control the ball and lost his footing. Fagrie Lakay made the best out of the situation. He delivered an exquisite cross which was met by the head of Erasmus who headed his side in to the lead and victory. It took City 16 minutes to break the deadlock.
City controlled the pace of the game and Lakay almost doubled the lead but his efforts was saved by Mlungisi Mazibuko who was on debut in the 34th minutes. Thami Mkhize suffered a knee injury for City and didn't come back after the interval. He was replaced by Ebrahim Sedat who operated as a right back although he is left footed.
