Date: 18 December 2016
Venue: New Peter Mokaba Stadium
Baroka FC stretched their winless run in the Absa Premiership to eight games, after they drew 1-1 with Golden Arrows.
In the opening exchanges, Baroka conceded quite a number of fouls in the edge of the box and could have been punished but the finishing of Arrows was not up to standard.
In the 27th minute Arrows conceded a penalty. Richard Matloga, who won the spot-kick stepped up and converted from the penalty spot.
The home side then went down to 10 men a minute later, as Percyvell Nkabinde was shown given his marching orders after picking up his second yellow card.
In the 41st minute Arrows could have equalised but Masuluke was brilliant, as the Baroka shot-stopper produced a fine save to deny Andile Fikizolo.
Arrows were then reduced to 10 men just before the break when Clifton Miheso was shown a straight red card.
The match went into the half-time break with Baroka leading by a goal, but the visitors ended the half strongly looking for an equaliser.
Baroka were playing on the counter-attack and were looking threatening in the possession turn-over.
As the half went on, Arrows were still pressing but the defence of Baroka were firm as they defended in numbers.
Danny Phiri equalised for Arrows in the 75th minute making it 1-1, as the midfielder turned home Sibeko's cross.
The two teams threw everything forward but were unable to find a winning goal in the closing stages.
