Relebohile Mofokeng walks the field like an all-timer. Fortunately for him, he works with a technical team that understands his qualities. Always converging in-field, both when confronting the defender, or playing behind.

Meanwhile, the result of the match was met with a mixed response, as many pointed to the refereeing decisions.
Reacting to the article: Pirates held by resurgent Spurs, KickOff readers on Facebook said:
"How can they drop points they did not have? They failed to win all three points, plain and simple. Fullstop," says Lolo Makgatho.
"Cape Town Spurs displayed quality football but were just unlucky. Pirates also played well but coming up against a team that is in a fight for survival, it was always gonna be a tight affair," says Monde Manyamalala.
"The referee missed two possible red cards for Pirates. Sipho and Sibisi should have showered early," says Msimango Siyabonga.
"Cape Town Spurs we're very proud of you," says Isaac Mosebi.
"When we get time, we must talk about how Maswanganyi played the whole game despite such a poor performance," says Lungelo ZN.
"It's one of those games where I am not going to complain. We played and the keeper was good," says Aphelele Olwethu Gcobani Mdingi.
"Mofokeng's disallowed goal in the 1st half wasn't offside, Kapinga was fouled at the edge of the box, Lepasa was not offside, and that was a penalty," says McDouble Dee.
"Cape Town Spurs were held by Pirates," says Xoe Ngwenya.
"Poor refereeing, it was clear penalty. He was standing in front of the player...like what category do they use to hire the refs. That was poor, they destroyed the game," says Tshepho Msiza.
"Cape Town Spurs this season have taken 4 points from Pirates," says Luvuyo Zideba.
