Stars and Arsenal in goalless draw

 

Madombidzha Western Stars failed to impress their fans when they played to a goalless draw with Madombidzha Arsenal in their Safa Vhembe MMK Administrators League match on Sunday.

Stars were superior when it came to ball possession, but their strikers seemed to be shy when they approached their opponents’ danger area. The killer-striker, Silas Rammbona, was the first player to go into the referee’s book. He ignored the referee’s whistle and kicked the ball away long after the whistle had been blown.

Arsenal’s Londy Musiamo could not live up to the fans’ expectations as Tommy Mashau marked him tightly. Stars threatened to score in the 16th minute, when Ridovhona Singo received a neat pass from Kgothatso Monyebodi, but he fumbled at the goal finish.

Zwanga Mashau, Stars’ midfielder, was a marvel to watch. He was everywhere, distributing promising balls from the middle of the park, while also playing as a striker. Stars’ technical team was forced to replace Willy Aphane with Percy Munonoka. He left the pitch on a stretcher after sustaining a knee injury.

The referee flashed another yellow card in the 57th minute. Zwanga Mashau tackled Mpheni Razwimisani from behind and the referee was quick to flash yellow.

Stars’ last scoring chance came in the 84th minute when Percy Munonoka faced the keeper and pushed the ball forward to Ridovhon Singo, instead of taking the responsibility himself.

Silas Rambona of Stars is in possession of the ball, while Dakalo Maano is guarding him closely.
