Johannesburg- Moroka Swallows won the MTN Top 8 after walloping Supersport at Orlando stadium,near Soweto.

The game  started like a house on fire as both teams asked each other lots of questions. Supersport showed no respect to Swallows as they launched attack in the early minutes of the game.

Supersport midfield,Doutie became a thorn on Swallows flesh. He set on Franklin Cale in the opening minutes who made no mistake with and unleashed a long range with his first touch that left Graig Etafia sprawling on the ground.

“We missed so many opportunities and if you do not take your chances, you get punished. So credit to Swallows and welldone” said distraughted Supersport coach.

Even though Gavin Hunt did not say much,you could see disappointment written all over his face.

Swallows regrouped after Nergadze equalised for the Dube Birds when he hit a long range shot from deflected shot.

Supersport launched more attack while the game progress and was guided under a chattering eye of Moroka Swallows defence.

Both teams showcase the enterprising football and played with virgo.

Ashrif Hendricks received yellow card after bringing Doutie down just outside the 18 yards.

“We played as a team and we were very unfortunate to concede an early goal” said Zeca Marques.

The referee decisions came under spotlight when he denied Swallows what seems a penalty after Fransman blocked a ball in his penalty area,but waved “play on”.

Swallows came with gun blazing and were unlucky when Lerato “All you need is love” Chabangu shot was cleared off the goal line by Diouf.

Swallows second goal came after they bit an offside trap and Bennett Chanene chip the ball over buyoed Fernadez.

Swallows breathe a sigh of relief after the referee blew his whistle and make them 2012 MTN TOP 8 reigning champions after almost three decade without winning the elusive Top 8.
