Mixed fortunes for Namibian foreign legion…as Vries, Hanamub impress
2021-01-18
Namibia’s veteran goalkeeper Virgil Vries was on Saturday breathtakingly exceptional between the sticks as he kept a clean sheet to help his South African club Swallows FC secure a narrow but well-deserved 1-0 win over Baroka FC during their DStv Premiership clash at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
The win saw Swallows, who gained promotion to the that country’s top tier league this season, go level on points with league log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who played to a 0-0 stalemate against SuperSport United also on Saturday. Swallows’ only goal of Saturday’s match came from in-form striker Ruzaigh Gamildien.
