Celtic Coach Lehlohonolo Seema says that it was a tough first half as Stellenbosch came at them strongly.

Barker says he had hoped his team could still find a late equaliser, but in the end Celtic were just sharper, and they now need to focus on game away to Highlands Parks on Saturday.

Bloemfontein Celtic came from a goal behind at half-time to beat Stellenbosch FC 2-1 at the Cape Town Stadium in an Absa Premiership game last night.

City coach Clinton Larsen was disappointed with the result but not with the performance saying his side did better in the second half.

Gabadinho Mhango scored a hat-trick to help Orlando Pirates annihilate Polokwane City with a 4-1 drubbing in the Absa premiership at the Peter Mokaba stadium yesterday.

Sundowns and Wits are involved in the group stages of both the CAF Champions league and CAF Confederation Cup respectively.

The two teams played to a 1-1 draw in Durban last month. Wits are lying third on the log with 27 points in 13 matches.

The Brazilians also had a penalty shout in the second half when a ball from Vilakazi appeared to hit one of the defender’s hand in the second half, but the referee waved play on.

Mamelodi Sundowns and Bidvest Wits played to a goalless draw in a league match at Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria last night.

City has the worst defence in the league, conceding 23 goals in 16 games. Sithebe says they are well aware of the issues their opponents have at the back and must look to exploit it when going forward.
