Cape Town - Judas Mosemaedi scored twice in stoppage time to help Mpumalanga Black Aces to a thrilling 2-2 draw against Platinum Stars in the Absa Premiership on Wednesday evening.
Ndumiso Mabena handed the visitors a 2-0 lead and Cavin Johnson's men looked sure to end the evening atop the league table, but Mosemaedi had plans of his own.
With
Bidvest Wits beating Orlando Pirates 1-0 in Soweto, Aces and Stars slip to
second and third respectively, level on points and still unbeaten after seven
rounds of league fixtures.
Mabena
opened the scoring for the visitors from 12 yards after Collins Mbesuma fouled
his fellow former Buccaneer inside the area - Mabena duly stepped up to net his
first goal since May on 21 minutes.
Stars
were unlucky not to be 2-0 up nine minutes later with Masibusane Zongo seeing
his left-footed free-kick canon of the woodwork.
Aces
finally found their rhythm after the break, but after Mbesuma saw his shot
against the post, Stars doubled their lead through Mabena, who completed his
brace from the penalty spot on the hour.
Muhsin
Ertugral introduced Mosemaedi soon after, but the Turkey born mentor could
never have envisaged what would follow.
First
the AmaZayoni youngster rose highest to halve the deficit in the
third minute of stoppage time, before striking home the equaliser with what was
the final kick of the game.
