Limpopo’s Baroka lead the NFD pack

 

Baroka FC maintained their unbeaten record when they beat Mthatha Bucks 2-0 in their National First Division League match at the Mthatha Stadium in the Eastern Cape on Sunday afternoon. Baroka moved to the top of the log, following several impressive results.

Bucks missed a fortune seven minutes into the game. They were awarded a penalty after a defender of Baroka handled the ball within his own danger area. Johannes Mavusana shocked the fans by shooting straight to the stranded keeper. Baroka’s goals came via Walter Kutumela and Lawrence Daniel Kekana.

The former Absa Premiership Division side, Moroka Swallows, were the hardest hit. They were brutally walloped 0-4 by Amazulu at the Princess Magogo Stadium in Durban on Saturday. It took Usuthu only four minutes to get the home crowd on their feet as Petrus Mthembi got his name on the scoresheet. This after he received a pre-cooked pass from David Dlamini.

Linda Bengu found the net in the 35 minute, while Ayabulela Kobe found the net four minutes afterwards to bring the half-time score to 3-0. Swallows managed to create a number of chances, but their strikers let them down. The KZN side increased the margin in the 80th minute when Bornwell Nwape scored from a free kick with a half volley.

Thembisani Nevhulamba, Ivan Mahangwahaya and Leonard Ntshangase scored when Black Leopards beat FC Cape Town 3-1 at the Thohoyandou Stadium. (See a full match report on the main sports page).

Cape Town All Stars suffered their first defeat when they lost 0-3 to Milano United in their Cape Town derby at the Philipi Stadium. Highlandspark continued to collect league points when they crushed African Warriors 3-0 at the Makhulong Stadium in Thembisa. Witbank Spurs registered a narrow 1-0 victory over Santos at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.

Mbombela United won their first match when they beat Royal Eagles 3-0 at the Kanyamazane Stadium. Jonathan Armogan scored the all-important goal when his side, Vasco da Gama, beat Thanda Royal Zulu 1-0 at the Parow Park Stadium.
