Arrows fight back to deny City victory

Kermit Erasmus had City in an unconvincing lead after 52 minutes with his fourth goal of the season but they concede a penalty four minutes from time which Knox Muitizwa tucked away.“It’s a point we’ll take but I thought we could have taken all three,” said Arrows coach Steve Komphela.It was a correct summation of the game which leaves City now with one win in seven outings this season and looking a far cry from the team that was a such a force last season.

But the game did not get going as the two sides cancelled each other out in a scrappy battle where Arrows defence proved stout and inhibited City’s running game, while looking to catch them on the counter in return. A Riyaad Norodien freekick almost beat Arrows goalkeeper Edmore Sibanda as he tried to punch it away, rather than catch it, and it went up and over the bar in a touch of fortune for the keeper.

Abubakar Mobara suffered a serious looking ankle injury right at the end of the first half and was replaced by Mpho Makola at the start of the second stanza.
