The draw keeps them top of the standings with four points – at least until results for Wednesday’s games have been confirmed.
Ferreira lambasted the errors. “Mistakes happened and I am extremely disappointed because we got so many scoring chances. The players need to learn that in the GladAfrica Championship, teams don’t give up so easily until the very last minute,” Ferreira told the club’s official Facebook page afterward.
Babina Noko took the lead in the first half through Katlego Cwinyane. But Ezenkosi got back in it in the 61st minute. Sekhukhune took the lead again towards the end through Jabulani Maluleke but a late penalty saved Jomo Sono’s side blushes as they managed to force a share of the spoils.
There are three games fixtured for Wednesday afternoon with Cape Umoya United against Free State Stars. A win for the Spirited Ones could see them jump into first position.
