Swallows slip closer to trouble after Chippa stalemate (Independent Online)

Swallows FC and Chippa United picked up a point each from their DStv Premiership game at the Dobsonville Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Birds bossed most of the first half-hour, though clear chances were hard to come by. Swallows kept up the pressure in attack but were unable to find a way through, with Chippa – who clearly came to Soweto with the sole ambition of keeping a clean sheet – holding firm to secure top-flight football for next season. Swallows offered the first threat on goal in just the second minute, with a Kamohelo Mahlatsi shot from the edge of the box deflecting off a Chippa defender and forcing Lloyd Kazapua into a sharp save.

However, Monama would play a key role in the third goal for Baroka, with another brilliant run from the left on 75 minutes ending with a cross speared toward the near post and glanced home with aplomb by Evidence Makgopa to secure the key victory for the Limpopo side. Stung by the two goals conceded, United looked to shuffle their line-up with the introduction of Talent Mbatha off the bench just past the half-hour mark, though Baroka were able to control the match and head into the interval with their strong lead intact. Defender Bonkinkosi Makume took on the responsibility of the spot kicks and scored from both in the 25th and 29th minutes to put the hosts in control at 2-0 up.
