Report: Moroka Swallows 2 - Platinum Stars 0


A man with a lot on his mind, Zeca Marques.




Zeca Marques relieved some of the pressure on his shoulders as Moroka Swallows defeated Platinum with a 2-0 scoreline at the Dobsonville Stadium on Wednesday evening, 19 December 2012, at Volkswagen Dobsonville Stadium.


 
Goals by Bennett Chenene and Swallows’ top goal-scorer, Katlego Mashego, came at a crucial time for coach Zeca Marques whose side had not won in their eight previous matches.


Swallows now occupy 11th spot and sit five points above last-placed AmaZulu. 


Q2 winners, Platinum Stars, meanwhile, currently occupy third place, four points behind leaders Kaizer Chiefs, and will enter 2013 still in contention for the title race.


The Birds sat back in the second half, depending largely on counter-attacks to provide a threat on their opponents goal.  The Dube Birds eventually held out for the result and provided a win that will leave their loyal supporters with something to smile about this Christmas.
Katlego Mashego seals he three points with a well-taken goal.
