Germiston City Football Club faced Zwide Football Club in an away match, on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter a disastrous 2-3 defeat by Alberton Football Club last weekend, Germiston is in dire need of points to keep their super league hopes alive,\u201d said the local team\u2019s chairman, Peter Oliver.<\/p>
\u201cThe local team is dangling perilously close to the relegation zone, lying in 12th position of 16 teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Germiston\u2019s captain, Scotty Chando, out due to work commitments, Germiston put together a side that would be tested by Zwide.\u201d<\/p>
The local side played well and against a similarly matched Zwide side, with the score kept to 0-0 at half-time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe second half was an all-out battle, with the game ebbing and flowing with both defences doing well,\u201d explained Oliver.<\/p>\n
\u201cZwide were first to score, with a well placed shot beating a diving Benji Kaunda.<\/p>\n
\u201cGermiston mounted a number of attacks and finally broke Zwide\u2019s defence with a great solo effort by Lebogang Chokoe to level the score.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith 20 minutes remaining the sides were deadlocked at 1-1.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter much struggle, Salifyagi Mugala beat Zwide\u2019s goalkeeper to give Germiston a much-needed and deserving win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Germiston won with a 2-1 score, while the reserve team beat Zwide 3-1.<\/p>\n
