THOHOYANDOU – Although Dynamos dominated the entire game; they finally had to suffer the pain of losing a Castle Premiership League match 0-2 against Moroka Swallows FC at Thohoyandou Stadium on Sunday.

The game was characterised by rough play; however, the Uitenhage referee Buyile Gqubule did not let any culprit go unpunished. He flashed four yellow cards in the first half. Tonic Chabalala and Luke Jukulile of Dynamos and Abram Isaacs of Swallows were reprimanded for rough play while Jabulani Mendu of Swallows was booked for protesting against the referee's decision.

Dynamos realised that it was not their day when their right flank, Luke Jukulile missed a clear chance in the 12th minute. His teammate Sandras Kumwenda committed the same blunder three minutes later. The visiting side blew the trumpet when the game was 25 minutes old.

Their opening goal was scored by the former Zimbabwean international, Adam Ndlovu. He finished on a rebound after Jabulani Mendu tried his luck from the edge of the box. The score was still 1-0 at half time.

Realising that their diminutive striker Josam Ndou's fighting spirit was fading with time, Dynamos replaced him with Timothy Nkosi in the 65th minute. The coach of Dynamos, Mr Jacob Sakala watched the last 20 minutes of the game from the corridor leading to the dressing room.

He was given marching orders for using abusive language towards the referee. "That referee is very much stupid," said Sakala when accusing the referee of denying them what was arguably a penalty. A mistake by the Dynamos sweeper, Lifa Qosha led to Swallows' second goal, which was scored by Adam Ndlovu in the 77th minute.
