Moroka Swallows Push Cape Town All Stars to the Brink in PSL Promotion Relegation Tournament

• Cape Town All Stars hopes of playing in the DStv Premiership have been left hanging by the barest of threads
• The team lost 2-1 to Moroka Swallows this afternoon at the Lucas Moripe Stadium, making it two defeats in the PSL Play-Off Tournament
• Igugu Lekapa grabbed the lead via Justice Figuareido, before the Dube Birds fought back with goals from Mbulelo Wambi and Joseph Mhlongo

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.

The result was disastrous for the visitors as it was their second in a row, having being sunk by the University of Pretoria 3-1 on Sunday afternoon in Cape Town. With their fate now out of their hands, All Stars now have to win their next two games against the two opponents and hope the other results go their way mathematically.

Moroka Swallows on mission to remain in DStv Premiership with match against Cape Town All Stars

The PSL Play-Off Tournament is fully underway, with Moroka Swallows and Cape Town All Stars will battle it out in the second match this afternoon.

As reported by Sports Brief, the Dube Birds might have avoided relegation, but playing in this mini-tournament after finishing 15th in the DStv Premiership is the price they have to pay.
