This was the first leg of the second preliminary rounds, and Gallants know that they have a great opportunity to emulate their last season’s feat when they reached the group stages.

Gallants were the first to open the scoring in the 11th minute through Monde Mphambaniso as Dan Malesela’s men made early strides.

The visitors were soon 2-0 up after being awarded a penalty in 21st minute which was converted by Celimpilo Ngema.

And that’s how the first half ended, and for Gallants, the two goals were good enough, especially because they were away from home.
