It was an unfortunate weekend for Germiston City Football Club\u2019s teams.<\/p>\n
The club\u2019s first and reserve sides played home matches against Kempton Park Football Club while the third team played an away match in Edenvale against Boksburg Football Club, on Saturday.<\/p>
The first team\u2019s match was a one-sided affair with Kempton netting two goals early in the ELFA Super League fixture.<\/p>\n
\u201cKempton managed to score two goals within a few minutes of the first half,\u201d said Germiston City FC\u2019s first team coach, Sreten Pavlovic.<\/p>
\u201cThe goals rattled the boys but they had to keep focus and ensure no more goals were scored.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey formed a good defence line and ensured the score remained 2-0 till half-time.\u201d<\/p>\n
It appeared the local team went back to the drawing board as Germiston scored a goal early in the second half.<\/p>\n
Although Germiston looked stronger, they failed to score more goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a few close opportunities but couldn\u2019t capitalise on them and therefore, we got punished by Kempton with a goal minutes before the end of the match,\u201d said Pavlovic.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were down a few players as some were playing in the SAB Castle League, but overall, I was happy with the team\u2019s performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first team lost 3-1 to Kempton.<\/p>\n
