Cape Town Spurs showed their dominance in the Motsepe Foundation Championship yet again on Sunday afternoon as they secured an important 2-1 victory over NB La Masia, sending them back to the top of the table.
The afternoon was marked by a top performance from striker Ashley Cupido, who scored his 14th goal of the season. The victory left Shaun Bartlett’s men a point clear of Casric Stars with a game before the curtain closes.
