The match ended goalless as neither side breached the other’s defenses which could be a feather in Hungry Lions’ cap seeing as of the two teams Uthongathi is the more seasoned club having played for two seasons in the Glad Africa League and ought on that basis to have been able to take advantage of the newbies.
Of Saturday’s six scheduled matches in the Glad Africa League the Hungry Lions and Uthongathi goalless result was matched by the one all result in the Polokwane derby featuring Black Leopards and Polokwane FC.
In another game Cape Town All Stars came off second best in Thohoyandou against Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) who beat them 3-1 in full time.
