The stalemate kept the promoted outfit firmly in seventh place, extending their encouraging start to life in the top flight.

With seven points collected in their last five league matches and four points snatched from their last two outings, Hunt said his team were showing the kind of maturity needed to survive a demanding season.

“A draw is a point and at this level it moves us forward, other teams lost today and for us it’s a step forward, we just need to keep moving forward and closer to our goal,” he said.

For Hunt, the performance carried more meaning than the result.

Durban City’s young squad ~ most of whom are experiencing the Betway Premiership for the first time - showed composure in a fixture often defined by intensity and high stakes.
