Goalless Grind Continues, Gallants Left Frustrated by Stubborn Siwelele

By Katleho Malangabe: In a tense Betway premiership derby that had everything except goals, Marumo Gallants and Siwelele played out in a hard-fought 0-0 draw at Dr Molemela Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The field was filled with yellow cards, showing how physical and tense the battle became. Ndlondlo and Manaka were booked early on, while Siwelele, Moralo and Sithole also received bookings later in the game. Letsh...
