|||Amazulu and Bloemfontein Celtic had to be content with a point apiece when they played to a 1-1 draw at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Ntokozo Sikhakhane's first half strike was cancelled out be a thumping second half effort from Nathan Paulse.
There was not much for the nearly 3 000 spectators to enjoy in the first half as both teams lacked the necessary cutting edge to find routes to goal.
The only bright moment in the first half was when Amazulu's Lehlohonolo Majoro zipped down the right flank and played a cross into the Celtic penalty area.
A mistimed clearance by a Celtic defender sat up nicely for Sikhakhane to have a crack at goal. The midfielder netted with a swerving left-footed shot.
The visitor's first real effort at goal came just after the interval when Moses Spandeel got a header to a Prince Hlela set-piece but it flew just past the Amazulu upright.
The 56th minute could have been the turning point in the match had the referee and his assistant been alert to the fact that Amazulu's striker Ayanda Dlamini did in fact get the ball to cross the Celtic goal line with a close range strike and that goalkeeper Patrick Tignyemb only intercepted the effort after it crossed the line, but it was not to be.
Celtic secured their point in the 72nd minute and, in the process, stretched their unbeaten streak to seven games when Paulse sunk a strike from more than 25 metres away, leaving goalkeeper Mbongeni Mzimela a well beaten man. – Sapa
