The draw with Swallows meant that Gavin Hunt's SuperSport missed out on the chance to move from third to second place behind log-leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
Swallows' defence failed to deal adequately with the set-piece and Hlatshwayo headed home to open the scoring. It was Hlatshwayo's first league goal in three seasons. As Grobler attempted the spot kick he slipped and skewed his effort wide of the posts.
Swallows FC fought back from a goal down to earn a hard-fought 1-1 DStv Premiership draw against SuperSport United at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday night.
SuperSport opened the scoring when, from Jamie Webber's corner from the right, Thatayaone Ditlhokwe's header forced a stop from Mbanjwa and the ball looped to Hlatshwayo to finish at the right upright. Grobler completely lost his footing taking the shot in the 27th minute and the ball ballooned metres wide. Thamsanqa Gabuza went down under tugging from Yagan Sasman but there appeared pushing in the other direction too.

However, his clearance did not distinguish the danger, leaving it for “Tyson” to pounce on the loose ball. Hlatshwayo has always been one player who is defensively good in the air, but on Sunday evening, he proved that he can use his aerial prowess on the other end of the pitch too. Tyson, as the centre-back is known, benefitted from his partner in defence, Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, who was the first to attack Jamie Webber’s corner-kick but goalkeeper Thakasani Mbanjwa was up to the task as he saved Ditlhokwe’s attempt.
