University of Pretoria and Moroka Swallows played out a disappointing draw at the ABSA Tuks Stadium in Tshwane earlier this afternoon.

Both teams were looking to gain separation at the top of Premier Soccer League Play-Off Tournament to see who will join Richards Bay FC in the DStv Premiership next season. The home team and visitors had both swatted aside Cape Town All Stars 3-1 and 2-1 respectively to share the lead at the top of the table.

By virtue of a superior goal difference, AmaTuks will hang onto the lead with four points over the Dube Birds on the same amount of points, with All Stars lagging behind on zero.

The log leaders will host Igugu Le Kapa at the same venue on Wednesday afternoon. Swallows will then travel to Cape Town next weekend to take them on.

Moroka Swallows' bid to remain in the DStv Premiership started off on the right foot this afternoon against Cape Town All Stars at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville.

As Sports Brief observed, the Dube Birds defeated Igugu Lekapa 2-1 in front of a near-empty stadium PSL Play-Off Tournament.

Justice Figuareido put the away team into the lead in the 40th minute, before Mbulelo Wambi's 68th-minute equaliser and Joseph Mhlongo's dagger in the 93rd minute settled matters.
