It was a busy week for Germiston City Football Club, with an away cup match, on Thursday, and a home league match, on Saturday, both as part of the Eastern Local Football Association (ELFA) Super League.<\/p>\n
The club first travelled to Alberton to face Alberton Football Club, in the quarter-finals of the Super League cup.<\/p>
Though Germiston started the stronger of the two sides, they soon unravelled after an early attempt at goal hit the Alberton posts.<\/p>\n
This was followed by two further attempts at goal by the visitors, each saved by the home team\u2019s goalkeeper.<\/p>
A lack of discipline by Germiston allowed Alberton to sneak in a goal and put them ahead, a lead they maintained heading into half-time.<\/p>\n
The break seemed to allow Germiston time to regain their composure and discipline and they took command of the game, outplaying the home side and being rewarded with an equalising goal in the 70th minute of the match.<\/p>\n
Though the team kept the pressure on the Alberton defence and goalkeeper, a winning goal eluded them until extra time.<\/p>\n
During the final moments of the match the constant pressure paid off, after a well-taken corner sent the ball sailing across the Alberton goal to be met by Comfort Molebela, who put it into the back of the net.<\/p>\n
This meant the team secured their place in the cup semi-finals with a 2-1 victory.<\/p>\n
Germiston then played host to Bedfordview-based Olympia Football Club, at the Germiston City Sports Club, in their scheduled Super League fixture on Saturday.<\/p>\n
