Home side CapeTownCityFC may rue missing a host of chances in their MTN8 first-leg home semi-final against Moroka_Swallows at Athlone Stadium on Sunday. By ZaahierAdams | IOLsport
The home side dominated possession, and had a plethora of opportunities particularly during the final 10 minutes when they raided the Swallows goal, but could find a way to get the ball into the back of the net as the visitors hung on for a goalless draw to take back to Dobsonville.
City made one change from their midweek victory over Royal AM as new signing Khanyisa Mayo started ahead of Douglas Maphu. Swallows coach Brandon Truter also made just the solitary change with Strydom Wambi coming into the Dube Birds line-up. The Citizens hit the upright twice during the first half when Abbubaker Mobara found himself unmarked collecting a Mayo cross, but the defender could only manage to direct his strike against the post.
City coach Eric Tinkler was up on his feet already just before halftime when Mayo struck a pile-drive at the Swallows goal, but the Swallows keeper Virgil Vries, who was in superb form all afternoon, tipped the shot over the bar to force a corner. There was another opportunity from the set-piece to open the scoring, but Taariq Fielies headed the resultant corner wide.
