Celtic overpower Madombidzha FC in semi-final

Madombidzha Celtic beat Madombidzha FC 3-2 in the semifinal of the Madco tournament at Madombidzha on Sunday.

There was a spirit of commitment from both sides throughout the game. Celtic were intimidated by a yellow card that was flashed to their defender, Rudzani Lisoga, in the 15th minute. The keeper of FC, Hector Malange, caused an upset when he failed to handle the ball properly. The ball hit his knees and bounced back into play. Dakalo Nwanamidwa was in a perfect scoring posision to tap in the ball.

FC did not press the panic button, despite the fact that their fans were becoming impatient. Their equalising goal came in the 34th minute. Captain Thabo Matuba scored after a corner kick by Masala Tshinanga.They had very little time to celebrate their equaliser, as Celtic found their second goal in the 40th minute via Musubi Mushukwa.

Isaac Mulaudzi and Dakalo Nwanamidwa formed a deadly combination with Sukanani Netshukwi at the forefront and kept the FC defence running for cover.  Although both sides had missed a number of chances, FC had more regrets, especially after the introduction of their killer striker, Thabo Mamburu, late in the second half.

The game nearly took an ugly turn when the players of both teams started to display rough skills. The situation was calmed by the referee, who flashed three yellow cards in quick succession.

Dakalo Nwanamidwa complete his brace and scored his team third goal. Tshimangadzo Masala scored his team second goal to make the score 3-2.
