Germiston City Football Club\u2019s first and second sides played top of the league Highlands Park Football Club on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Both fixtures were held at the Germiston City Sports Club with the first side winning 3-1 and the second side losing 2-1.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The Germiston side has had a mediocre season with a mixture of hard luck results and a heavy 0-4 defeat by Highlands in the first round fixture.<\/p>\n

Highlands showed their intentions from the beginning with an early skirmish into the Germiston area only to be well dealt with by Mluleki Dlamini in the Germiston goal.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Germiston had an early chance by Tebogo Muso which struck the Highlands crossbar.<\/p>\n

Germiston continued to pressurise the Highlands goal with another thunderbolt shot by Muso which brought off a brilliant save from the Highlands keeper diving to his left to tip the ball over his crossbar.<\/p>\n

Both defences were tested and both held firm with Germiston sustaining the pressure on the Highlands goal.<\/p>\n

With 25 minutes gone in the first half, Highlands were awarded a corner which the Germiston defence failed to deal with and the shot left Dlamini with no chance resulting in a Highlands goal.<\/p>\n
