Petamukanda defeat Eltivillas school

Petamukanda Primary beat Eltivillas 2-0 in the final match of the sports day at Eltivillas on Saturday.

The victory did not reflect the match in general, as Eltivillas outsmarted the visitors from the onset. Petamukanda were lucky not to concede half a dozen goals during the first half as they were out of touch in all departments.

Eltivillas missed two clear chances in the first 20 minutes. Firstly, Phindulo Tshivhase shot wide from close range after receiving a neat pass from Tony Nthanfeni in the 22nd  minute. As if that was not enough to stir up the fans, Thendo Ramutshila caused another upset three minutes later. Instead of relaxing on the ball and trying other possible ways, Ramutshila chose to release aimlessly from outside the box, much to the disappointment of the team’s supporters.

Petamukanda finally broke the deadlock in the 34th minute. It was their left flank, Atonia Tshiredo, who made things happen. His long-range ground cutter left the opponents' keeper, Sello Moraka, flat-footed. The Eltivillas team lost cohesion and Petamukanda capitalised. Aluwani Matshivha scored their second goal three minutes before the half-time whistle.

Both sides effected two changes in the last half. The replacements worked against the hosts as they played the last stanza with their backs against the wall.
