Durban - Golden Arrows have ended Moroka Swallows’ stay at the top of the PSL table with a 2-1 win at the King Zwelithini Stadium on Wednesday evening.
WRAP: PSL
Abafana Bes’thende surged into a two-goal lead through a 13th minute penalty from Thanduyise Khuboni and a 19th minute strike from Bongi Ntuli.
The Birds pulled a goal back late on through Luvhengo Mungomeni in the 78th minute, but they were unable to complete a come-back despite some late pressure.
The result sees Swallows drop to third place on the log on 15 points, two behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
