Celtic and Maritzburg draw 1-1─── 09:41 Mon, 08 Apr 2013
Bloemfontein Celtic and Maritzburg United played to a 1-1 stalemate in an Absa Premiership match at the Free State Stadium on Sunday.
United scored first via defender Mario Booysen, who tapped in the 37th minute after capitalising from the Celtic defence failing to clear the danger.
The goal came from a corner after a breath-taking save by Celtic's keeper Patrick Tignyemb who parried Delron Buckley's powerful shot.
After the break Celtic raised their game, searching for the equaliser.
The hosts needed just a minute after the restart to level the scores.
Mduduzi Nyanda beat Walters with a powerful right-footed low shot to make it 1-1.
The second half was error-strewn in the striking department, and further goals looked unlikely.
United Ernst Middendorp looked particularly frustrated when striker Evan Rheece failed to convert with Celtic's keeper Tignyemb stranded late in the game. The keeper reacted well to close the angle before the striker unleashed a shot.
