Cape affair dominate NFD clashes


The National First Division will take Cape Town by storm on Wednesday with three fixtures, which were postponed earlier due to unfavourable weather conditions, scheduled to take place in different parts of the city.
Log leaders Milano United will look to extend their winning streak to six matches when they host Baroka FC at the Wynberg Military Base at 3:30pm.
United are currently at the top of the table with a perfect haul of 15 points from five matches and another victory would see them pulling further ahead of the chasing pack.
Baroka have also enjoyed a decent start in their debut season in the NFD, winning two and drawing two of their opening five fixtures to sit in 7th place and will be no pushovers.
The other afternoon kick-off will be an anticipated Cape derby between Vasco Da Gama and Chippa United at Parow Park .
The Chilli Boys are unbeaten this season, winning three out of their five clashes and will go into the game as favourites against a Vasco side that has failed to win in their last four outings.
Chippa are currently in third place with 11 points, five more than Vasco who are currently stuck in the bottom half of the table in 11th place.
The last fixture of the day between Santos and Sivutsa Stars will kick-off at 7:30pm at the Coetzenburg Stadium.
Santos came back from two goals down to hold United FC to a 2-2 draw on Sunday, their fourth in a row, but coach David Notoane says he was happy with the fighting spirit they showed away from home.
"I was pleased with the character from the boys; we never gave up and we kept plugging away,” he told the club’s website.
"A draw is not the desired result because we were really pushing to get three points out of this game but to go to Rustenburg and play the way we did and end the game the way we did has really lifted the team ahead of the match with Sivutsa Stars tomorrow."
Sivutsa edged Thanda Royal Zulu 1-0 in their last encounter and will be looking to register their first away win of the season.
