Errors prove costly for Spurs
Spurs will look to fix their errors on Saturday when they face Olympia at home.
A comedy of errors led to Brakpan Spurs losing for the first time this season.
They were beaten 4-1 by Boksburg FC in an away match on Saturday.
Spurs were missing injured star forward Thulane Munene, and one wonders how much of a difference he could have made as they started the game on the front foot but could not score.
Fullback Lungelo Mathebula was unlucky not to score as his long-range effort hit the post.
