It was up to the summit of the National First Division for Cape Town All Stars after they defeated Richards Bay FC 1-0 in an action-filled Friday afternoon at the Athlone Stadium.
The home side didn’t have to wait long to open their account, Nyembezi Setelele latching onto a Ruzaigh Gamildien through ball to put Igugu Lekapa ahead after six minutes played.
Six minutes later it was Thabiso Nkoana with a chance to find the equaliser for the Natal Rich Boys, but his shot across goal went agonisingly wide as it remained advantage Stars.
The remainder of the half saw both sides throwing everything in attack, but it was the David Kannemeyer-coached side who took a one goal lead into the break.
In the second half the 2016-17 NFD promotion-winning coach Roger Sikhakhane went all out in attack, but it was not to be as the Rich Boyz were kept at bay by a resilient home defence.
The result sees Cape Town All Stars ensuring their second win in as many matches, securing first spot on the log. Richards Bay on the other hand suffered their first defeat, in their first away assignment.
