Leopards make it two-in-a-row in Pretoria

Black Leopards managed to register their second victory in a row by beating Garankuwa United 5-2 in their National First Division League match at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria on Saturday.

Leopards narrowly beat Jomo Cosmos 1-0 at the Thohoyandou Stadium last Wednesday. The Leopards’ goals for the week came via Ruggert Nyundu (2), Phathutshedzo Nange (2) and Leonard Ntshangase. Lawrence Kekana and David Masemola scored for the home side in the Garankuwa clash.

Santos failed to collect the maximum points, despite the fact that they were playing at home. They played to a 2-2 draw with African Warriors at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town on Saturday. Santos scored their goals in the first half, but their fighting spirit vanished with time, making it easy for the opponents to score two late goals.

Vasco da Gama were unstoppable when they brutally crushed Thanda Royal Zulu 3-0 at the Parow Park Stadium in Cape Town. Vasco took the game to their opponents from the onset and they opened their account in the 14th minute via Freddy Velapi from a place kick. Collen Brown and Nelson Steyn scored the other two goals late in the last half.

Last weekend was an ugly one for Baroka FC. They gave away significant league points to their opponents, despite the fact that it was their home fixture. They lost 0-1 to Cape Town All Stars at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. Maluti FET College could not stop Royal Eagles, who beat them 4-3 at the Charles Mopedi Stadium in Bophaditshaba.

Jomo Cosmos beat Milano United 2-1 at the Vaal University of Technology Stadium. Lamontville Golden Arrows protected their leadership on the log by beating FC Cape Town 2-0 at the Chatsworth Stadium in Durban. Witbank Spurs thrashed Highlandspark 3-0 at the Puma Rugby Stadium. Jonathan Simelane, Norman Zungu and Ronald Seakamela scored the three goals for Spurs.
