Black Leopards collected four points in their last two league matches. They shared the spoils with Milano United (1-1) at the Thohoyandou Stadium last Wednesday afternoon. They flew to Cape Town over the weekend, where they managed to collect the maximum points at the expense of FC Cape Town, whom they beat 2-0 on Sunday.

Their game against Milano United was characterized by wasted opportunities. Lidoda Duvha  missed a fortune in the 14th minute. Their dribbling wizard, Leonard Ntshangase, received a neat pass from Mumuni Abubakar within the box but shot wide. It took the visitors from Cape Town 18 minutes to open their account. A scramble within the Leopards danger area gave birth a goal by Moganat Jacobs, who easily hooked in a loose ball from the goal line.

Black Leopards strengthened their left flank by introducing Phathutshedzo Nange and sacrificed Jabulani Ndebele in the 29th minute. The Giyani-based referee, Mr Victor Hlungwane, warned Robertson Chad of Milano with a card, following a dangerous tackle on Leonard Ntshangase.

Leopards replaced Bongani Manana, with Shimi Radebe two minutes later. The local lads found the equalizer in the 38th minute. Mumuni Abubakar unleashed a ground cutter from the edge of the box. The keeper of Milano, Western van der Linde, watched helplessly as the ball hit the back of the net. Ruggert Nyundu of Leopards was warned for faking an injury in the 78th minute. Nyundu missed a sitter moments thereafter, much to the embarrassment of the team’s fans.

Ruggert Nyundu and Jabulani Ndebele scored Leopards' goals against FC Cape Town.
