CAPE TOWN SPURS THE RETURN

 Morne Nel scored the lone goal seven minutes after Spurs were brought
down to 10-men when Ashley Cupido was shown a dubious red card by
referee Michael Mosemeng. The win solidifies Spurs' first-place position on
the PSL Promotion/Relegation Playoffs log standings.
 The Mother City outfit have now played three playoff matches, winning each
fixture with a 1-0 scoreline, putting Shaun Bartlett's side on 9 points ahead of
Maritzburg (3 points) and Casric (0 points).
 The defeat for Casric ends their quest for promotion to the DStv Premiership
as they now have one fixture against Maritzburg remaining on Saturday. A
draw or loss for Maritzburg will see Spurs secure their promotion to South
Africa's top flight.
 Fadlu Davids's Team of Choice will have to beat Casric to ensure their fight for
promotion can go to the final match against Spurs next Wednesday at the
Harry Gwala Stadium.
 Maritzburg will have to win all their remaining matches against Casric and
Spurs to keep alive their hopes of advancing to the Premiership on goal
difference ahead of Bartlett & charges.
