The first two games of the return to football saw howlers aplenty‚ sluggish play‚ a complicated five-substitution system and a level of injuries that could result in teams running out of fit players.“In the Bloem Celtic-Baroka game we saw many injuries. In our game we also had plenty of injuries,” Mosimane said. Sphelele Mkhulise could not finish and Themba Zwane, “who always finishes a game, could not finish”.

“I don’t know how many times I asked the fourth official‚ ‘do I still have a substitution to make?’ They said ‘yes you have‚ but you only have two to go because you’ve already made three’. “So we have an advantage because we’ve played; a disadvantage because we are playing a well-rested team. Disadvantage because we don’t have the legs until Tuesday.
