It was a bitterly cold, rain-soaked Saturday afternoon, at the Germiston City Sports Club, when Germiston City Football Club took on Zwide FC of Katlehong.<\/p>\n

The teams met in the Eastern Local Football Association\u2019s (ELFA) Super League fixture with Zwide looking the stronger side, as the home side\u2019s team was depleted through suspension, injury and no-shows, forcing coach Sreten Pavlovic to promote a number of reserve players to the first team.<\/p>

But this didn\u2019t stop the club from giving their all.<\/p>\n

An outstanding game by Germiston goalkeeper Mkhwanaazi Mthandeni kept Germiston in the game through a string of excellent saves.<\/p>

Through his outstanding efforts, Germiston were able to keep the scores level, at 0-0, until half-time.<\/p>\n

The near-misses at goal in the first half were forgotten as Germiston came out of the change rooms re-energised and ready to fight for a win.<\/p>\n
