Historic victory for Winners Park

 

Sport  Date: 09 March 2012

 

Things continued to go from bad to worse in the Super Eagles’ camp last weekend. This time round, they were brutally walloped 10-0 by Winners Park in their Vodacom Promotional League match at the Mahwelereng Stadium in Mokopane on Sunday afternoon.

Realising that the Super Eagles were soft targets, Winners Park made use of every chance they created and thus scored a goal almost every ten minutes of the game. The victory was good enough to push Winners Park from the second to the first spot on the log, with 39 points accumulated from 17 outings. 

Although Modimolle Aces were at some stage reduced to 10 men, Basel FC did not capitalise on the setback. Their equally contested match, which was staged at the Malamulele Stadium on Saturday, ended in a goalless draw. Aces should have taken the lead later in the second half, but they were unfortunate. They were awarded a penalty after a defender of Basel handled the ball within his own penalty area.

In the Vhembe derby, which was also staged at the Malamulele Stadium on Sunday, Rospa United shared the glory 1-1 with Nobela All Stars. The defending champions, Baroka FC, collected the maximum points. They beat Magezi FC 4-1.

Fanang Diatla were on the receiving end, as they lost 0-5 to FC Dinare at home. Phungo All Stars and Lephalale Young Killers shared the spoils at the Louis Trichardt Eltivillas grounds. They played to a 1-1 draw. Blue Rocks and The Dolphins also played to a draw.
