Royal Am Score Late To Secure A Point In Premiership Opener

ROYAL AM scored an 84th minute equaliser to snatch a 1-1 draw against Cape Town City at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Saturday, in the opening game of the new campaign.

Second-half substitute Motebang Sera emerged from the bench to net the late goal and ensured Thwihli Thwahla secured an important point in what is expected to be a tough season for them.

The City of Choice played host to the first 2024/25 Betway Premiership season as cloudy conditions contributed to perfect scenery in Pietermaritzburg.

The home side produced the first surprise of the new season as club chairperson Andile Mpisane made his first start of the season as head coach John Maduka fielded an attacking-looking line-up.

It came as no surprise when City scored the first goal of the new season through Namibian international Prins Tjiueza in the eighth minute.
