Milford FC players embrace following their win over Cape Town City FC in their opening match of the PSL's Promotion-Relegation play-offs.
Milford FC’s dream of reaching the prestigious Betway Premiership is suddenly looking more realistic than ever after a sensational, flying start to the PSL Promotion/Relegation mini-league.
The KwaZulu-Natal outfit entered the play-offs as distinct underdogs after finishing third in the Motsepe Foundation Championship with 54 points — but one highly disciplined and fearless performance against Cape Town City has shifted the mood across the province completely.
The Stallions stunned the Premiership side 1-0 away from home at the Athlone Stadium to immediately move to the summit of the three-team standings.
It was the exact kind of definitive result that can beautifully define a promotion campaign. Milford showed immense tactical maturity, rigid defensive resilience, and superb composure under pressure as they frustrated Cape Town City for long periods of the contest.
