Harper came on as an 83rd minute substitute but did not have enough time to influence the outcome of the game as he barely had enough touches of the ball.

“When we started the season, we said we would go match by match, we planned for this match. Every team is coming differently to us and we just have to have a game plan to make sure that we are able to get some points out of the matches we play.”
City Stars have come a long way this season, making amends from their blip last season when they scrambled for relegation survival having gone through a period of transition after a bulk of their squad was decimated.
