TS Galaxy’s unbeaten run came to an end as they lost 1-0 to Cape Town City in the late DStv Premiership game at the Mbombela Stadium on Saturday.
Galaxy came into this game as the only undefeated team remaining in the league and were yet to concede a goal.
Mlungisi Mbunjana had an attempt from a free kick in the 11th minute, but it flew over Darren Keet’s goal.
But it was City who grabbed the lead in the 15th minute, as Khanyisa Mayo scored from Darwin Gonzalez’s assist as Melusi Buthelezi conceded his first goal of the season.
After some more good work from Gonzalez, Taahir Goedeman tried a shot from the edge of the area in the 20th minute but this time Buthelezi was there to save. Four minutes later Goedeman shot just over.
Mbunjana tried from a set piece again in the 37th minute, but was wayward with his attempt.
At halftime, City deservedly led 1-0 at the break, having created the better opportunities.
Keletso Makgalwa was off target in the opening minute of the second half, while Mayo’s improvised effort in the 59th minute was blocked.
City should have been two up in the 70th minute, but the officials failed to rule correctly as Mayo’s shot crossed the line, but was deflected out of the goal by Galaxy’s defence. Gonzalez blasted over six minutes later.
Galaxy sub Lifa Hlongwane failed to trouble Keet with his 80th-minute shot, who also made a good save to deny Masilake Phohlongo two minutes later.
Galaxy pushed hard for the equaliser in the dying minutes, Phohlongo testing Keet again in stoppage time, but City’s defence stood firm and they held on for the three points
