SOCCER: Blues, Zwide share spoils

Zwide held the Boksburg Football Club to a 1-all draw in an ELFA Super League encounter played at the Boksburg City Stadium on Saturday, July 9.

Following a rather lacklustre lengthy period in the first half which was void of clear-cut chances from either side, the visitors struck a blow with a goal just before the half-time whistle to take the slender lead into the break.

Blues forward Eduardo Cassonga equalised in the second to salvage a point for the local side.

The result meant that the Blues remain winless in over a month but captain Tyler Fisch sees the outcome as a glass half-full rather than half-empty.

“We’re improving week-by-week because as you might know, we’ve had a tough few past weeks. We’ve got a couple of new faces in the side which has really helped; we’re a totally different team.

“The result could’ve gone either way, I think it was a fair result,” added the skipper.

Quizzed on what the side can do to change their recent misfortunes, Fisch placed playing as a unit as number one priority.

“I think we need more time to gel as a team because we’re a new bunch this season.

“We’re still getting to know each other; we’ve got some really talented players and we just need to gel,” he said. – @SabeloBoksburg
