Oscar Stars beat Dynamos

Makhitha Oscar Stars impressed soccer lovers when they beat Tshiozwi Dynamos 3-1 in an MMK Administrators' League match at Tshiozwi on Sunday.

Dynamos could have taken the lead in the 8th minute, had it not been for the fact that Velaphi Mphaphuli´s goal was disallowed. Stars' Godwin Mahuwa combined well with Rhulanui Maringa and Lwalima Ratombo at the front, but Maringa committed a huge blunder when he shot straight to the stranded keeper of Dynamos in the 28th minute. Although keeper Fhetani had already been well beaten, Maringa chose to turn and shoot straight to him.

Stars took the lead in the 30th minute. Basera Maopo caught the Dynamos keeper off guard and blasted in a half volley from inside the box.

Dynamos missed two clear chances early in quick succession, and Matodzi Maruli was the culprit in both instances. Sydney Luvhengo forced his way through Dynamos’s defence and beat the keeper hands down to make halftime score 2-0.

Stars were unstoppable in the second half, and it was not by accident that they scored their third goal in the 47th minute as they were the superiors when it came to ball possession. Basera Maopo broke loose and beat the keeper with a ground cutter.

Dynamos’ solitary goal came in the 86th minute via Nyathi Muvhango, who received a neat pass from Domenic Mafuleni to send in a ground cutter.
