I was getting worried it was going to be another defeat when the hosts, who weren’t even that good, went ahead in the first half.
Stellies switched things up in the second half, with poster boys Deano van Rooyen, Jayden Adams and Iqraam Rayners scoring to secure the victory.
The Wynlanders are becoming the force they’ve been planning to be sportingly. They’re producing the talent and they’ve tasted the feeling of being close to winning a title in the Nedbank Cup last season.
It’s going to be important how they manage their involvement in the MTN8 and keep things ticking more consistently in the league to become what they have the potential to become.
Cape Town City are back home , hosting Sekhukhune United at Athlone Stadium on Wednesday night.
It seems like it’s going to be another pressure cooker of a season for the Citizens.
They stumbled away against SuperSport United on Friday, the 11th loss against Gavin Hunt for City’s head coach Eric Tinkler.
He has another Capetonian coach to deal with in Brendon Truter who’s coming here with Bapedi.

City are out of the MTN8 which they had intended to have a longer run, but it ended painfully against Kaizer Chiefs here a week ago.
They now only have the league to worry about, until the Nedbank Cup comes around obviously.
Things are tense for their Cape Town Spurs in-laws as well, with a danger of relegation their reality already.
They’re a team that has fresh scars from the tough battles of the First Division.
But how often does head coach Shaun Bartlett need to remind the players of what’s at stake?
This is the time for a players’ only meeting.
This is the time to watch a lot of film for the players.
The rules of the locker-room don’t allow me to tell you. That’s why that door remains shut most of the time.
Things said and done there belongs to those that are there in the moment.
What everybody agrees on is that Spurs can play better.
It’s a team with the right mix of talent and age to manage this season well.
Loanee Luvuyo Phewa has a lot to prove, leading the line in the Premiership.
It’s a massive opportunity for the 23-year-old to put Mzansi on notice.
He showed flashes of what he’s got against Polokwane City.
You’d assume with the score ending up being 3-1, the Urban Warriors were outplayed. Far from it. And they got the goal they needed to tick a box and get their numbers on the league table ticking.

Khaya Mfecane was the scorer of the historic stunner.
It was magical, a late run from deep in midfield, collecting the ball on the edge of the box from a goalkeeper clearance, setting himself up to smash it with his laces to the far corner!
Commentator Sizwe Mabena’s iconic click, click, bang summarise it nicely.
Now just imagine if and when the attackers start converting their chances.
The goals conceded is the real concern. It’s the Premiership, chances are going to be created, Spurs need to figure out how to make it tougher.
This is not the memory Zama Dlamini would want to have on his name, after grinding all his life and only now getting the number one jersey.
It always falls on the goalkeeper first unfortunately, questions will be asked of the quality of the 31-year-old.
But the mistakes are committed in front of him, so the defenders and midfielders need to also do better and leaving the goalkeeper in the firing line.

What I can speak on is from a spectator’s point of view. Football is a sport, so Spurs need to win on the pitch soon, otherwise there won’t be much to speak about.
