Jafta Mabosho destroys Rospa United

FC Basel registered their third victory in a row, when they BEAT Rospa United 2-1 in their Vodacom Promotional League match at the packed Tshifulanani Stadium on Sunday.

Basel's former Black Leopards striker, Jafta Mabosho, was a marvel to watch. He scored both his team's goals.

Rospa United came close to scoring in the 18th minute. Their fast forward, Happy Mahuntsi, lost possession inside the box, much to the disappointment of the fans.

Basel took the lead in the 28th minute. Enock Chauke executed a beautiful cross from the left corner and Jafta Mabosho, who was in the perfect scoring position, headed home.

Another player who was reprimanded with a card in the first half was Thomas Mabasa of Basel. He tackled Bongani Mthombeni the rough way and the referee was quick to produce yellow. Basel enjoyed their 1-0 leadership until the end of the first half.

Basel were the first to effect change to their starting lineup. They replaced Khongotela Mahlaule with Khumbudzo Muvhango four minutes into the last stanza. Rospa United responded by introducing Mashudu Mashapha for Mighty Mabaso.

Rospa United retaliated in the 68th minute. Shandukani Mukoma headed home, following a free kick that was taken by Meshack Maphangule. Enock Chauke of Basel missed a sitter moments thereafter. He miskicked the ball, with the keeper already beaten.

Jafta Mabosho scored with a ground cutter three minutes before the final whistle.
