Amazing victory for students

Vhembe FET College, who were trailing 2-4 at one stage, collected maximum points when they beat Tshififi FC 5-4 in their MMK Funeral Services League match at the Makwarela Stadium on Sunday.

Tshififi scored their opening goal in the 11th minute. Azwindini Munyai tried his luck from outside the box. The volley was too hot for the Vhembe keeper, Maanda Tshigalo, to handle. The students found the equaliser through Gudani Manena moments thereafter.

The goal was an insult to the players of Tshififi. They scored two goals in quick succession. Talifhani Mphaphuli scored from the corner kick. The ball hit the back of the net from the corner kick without any further touch. The keeper of Vhembe failed to clear a back pass and Azwindini Munyai dispossessed him and scored easily.

Vhembe reduced one in the 29th minute via Gudani Manena. He tapped in the ball, following a scramble within the box. Phanuel Maluleke scored the fourth for Tshififi with a ground cutter.

Gudani Manena completed his brace in the 40th minute to bring the half-time score to 4-3. He beat the offside trap and showed the keeper the wrong way. Vhembe blamed their keeper for the four goals they had conceded and replaced him with Luambo Nethononda three minutes into the last half.

The students did not give in without a fight. They played collectively from behind, making it difficult for Tshififi to win balls in the middle of the park. Mulweli Malada scored the equaliser for Vhembe in the 69th minute.

Tshiwela Ratshibvumo of Vhembe was cautioned with a card for kicking the opponents’ keeper. Moses “Jack” Razwimisani scored the winning goal for Vhembe late in the game.
