Golden Arrows came from two goals down to record a 2-2 stalemate with SuperSport United at the Mpumalanga Stadium in the DStv Premiership on Wednesday night, as Matsatsantsa recorded their fifth straight draw in the league.
Ime Okon and Terrence Dzvukamanja put SSU in the driving seat all the way to the break, however, Steve Komphela’s halftime team talk appeared to have inspired his side, as goals by Lungelo Nguse and Gladwin Shitolo saw Arrows oversee a dramatic comeback.

With the first-half whistle blown at the Mpumalanga Stadium, SuperSport edged the home side to the ball possession count during the first 10 minutes of the game.
In making the most of their early pressure, SSU took the lead just as the clock hit the 10th minute.
Following a corner situation, Shandre Campbell swung in a whipping ball toward the near post which was met by Ime Okon, who guided the ball home with a powerful header from close range.
Matsatsantsa continued to dominate play after taking the lead while Arrows battled to make it out of their own quarters for much of the first half and played the majority of their football on the edge of their own 18-yard-area.
SuperSport then doubled their advantage on the stroke of halftime, following a sustained period of possession inside the Arrows half.
