Germiston City Football Club travelled to Turffontein to face Sporting Football Club in their latest Eastern Local Football Association (ELFA) Super League fixture.<\/p>\n
Germiston was narrowly defeated by Sporting 3-2 in a closely contested match.<\/p>
The visiting team were the first to get a point on the scoreboard with a goal from Anthony Uzochukwu.<\/p>\n
Sporting soon replied with a goal of their own, leaving the score tied at 1-1 heading into half-time.<\/p>
In the second half, Germiston’s head coach Sreten Pavlovic was forced to substitute a defender into the goals after goalkeeper Comfort Molebela was injured.<\/p>\n
Germiston bounced back from this unexpected setback with Uzochukwu scoring the team\u2019s second goal of the match.<\/p>\n
Sadly, their lead did not last long and some indecisive defending from the club allowed Sporting to equalise.<\/p>\n
The match looked set to end in a draw, but with just two minutes on the clock, the home team was able to push past the Germiston defence to score their third goal of the match, securing them a 3-2 victory.<\/p>\n
Germiston was left to rue their missed opportunities in a very competitive game.<\/p>\n
In the reserve teams’ match, Germiston beat their Sporting rivals 2-1.<\/p>\n
