Gallants rain on Downs' parade

PREMIERSHIP: OWN GOAL COSTS CHAMPS TWO POINTS

- Katlego Modiba

Melodi Sundowns were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Marumo Gallants in an entertaining Betway Premiership clash at Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium last night.

Both goals arrived in the first half, with Iqraam Rayners putting the visitors ahead before Keanu Cupido's own goal cancelled out the advantage.

Peter Shalulile returned to the starting XI after being left on the bench in the 3-0 win over Magesi FC last Sunday. The Namibian striker looked sharp from the outset and forced Washington Arubi into an early save with a low effort in the fourth minute.
