Although Celtic didn’t deserve the full points as Swallows dominated the proceedings throughout, they will still feel aggrieved as they also saw Lantshene Phalane’s great header disallowed for offside when the midfielder was clearly onside, a few minutes before Swallows broke the deadlock. Swallows coach Brandon Truter made only two changes to the team that started against Stellenbosch on Sunday while John Maduka, whose team is facing SuperSport United in the MTN8 first leg semi-final on Sunday, introduced five new players in his starting XI.
Swallows FC beat Celtic to win first match since gaining promotionNewly promoted Swallows FC registered their first three points in their second match, a first one at home, since gaining promotion to the DStv Premiership when they defeated Bloemfontein Celtic 1-0 at the Dobsonville Stadium on Wednesday night. The Birds will thank Celtic’s unlucky defender Ronald Pfumbidzai who turned Ruzaigh Gamildien’s cross into his own net in the 82nd minute. There was a touch of luck for the Birds in earning their first full spoils, to add to the one they gained in their 1-1 draw against Stellenbosch FC in their opening match on Sunday, as Gamildien looked offside before delivering the cross from the left that Pfumbidzai couldn’t help but drive past his own goalkeeper Sipho Chaine.
