Black Leopards came back from their away Absa Premiership League match against Moroka Swallows with a 2-2 draw. The match was played at the Dobsonville Stadium on Saturday evening.

Complacency was the only reason why Lidoda Duvha allowed Swallows to snatch a late equaliser.

The Birds’ front runner, Katlego Mashego, was a thorn in the flesh of the Leopards defenders. Mashego scored a brace in the game. In the sixth minute he made his presence felt. He accepted a pass from Lerato Chabangu and beat the Leopards’ Ugandan keeper, Posnet Omony, with a low shot.

Mashego thought he had scored a brace in the 20th minute, but his strike was disallowed after the assistant referee’s flag was already up for an offside. Ashraf Hendricks came close to scoring Swallows' second goal in the 34th minute, but he failed to direct his header from Chabangu’s corner kick.

In one of Black Leopards’ rare first-half opportunities, Rodney Ramagalela worked his magic before seeing his ground shot narrowly missing the target in the 39th minute. Gilbert Mapemba of Swallows was lucky to get away with yellow, following his two-footed tackle on Mahlatse Maake.

The home side missed another obvious chance three minutes into the last half. Katlego Mashego set up a chance for Dikgang Mabalane, but his shot was brilliantly saved by Posnet Omony. The former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder, Michael Nkambule, helped the visitors draw level after being set up by Rodney Ramagalela.

Just two minutes later, Lidoda duvha were in the lead, following Mongezi Bobe’s spectacular free kick. Sensing danger, the Birds’ coach threw everything into the attack, introducing David Mathebula, Joseph Makhanya and Mpho Maleka. In the end, it paid off as Mashego grabbed his second goal a minute before full time.
