He might be operating in a different country, pitches and team Bloemfontein Celtic, but there is still no stopping Gabadinho Mhango from scoring.
The former Big Bullets talisman needed just 24 minutes to net on his South Africa Premiership debut, earning struggling Celtic a 2-2 draw with Moroka Swallows on Tuesday night.
Casting demons of his recent ugly transfer hitches, Mhango replaced Musa Nyatama on the 66th minute to rescue a point for Celtic who earlier scored through Lerato Manzini. Swallows fired back twice through veteran attacker Siyabonga Nomvethe’s brace.
In another Premiership match, Robert Ng’ambi drove Platinum Stars midfield as they also drew 2-2 against Mpumalanga Black Aces at Royal Bafokeng Stadium the same Tuesday night.
Stars scored through Mogakolodi Ngele and Henrico Botes, only for the visitors to hit back through Clifford Ngobeni and Dennis Masina. Mhango left Malawi a few months ago with two Super League goals. He was last season’s Player of the Year.
