In their Vodacom Promotional League match at the Malamulele Stadium on Sunday, Rospa United and Nobela All Stars played to a 1-1 draw.

Their goal came in the 24th minute. Foster Hlungwani caught the United keeper, Mxolisi Ncube, napping and scored with a long-range half volley.
All Stars were reduced to 10 men in the 38th minute. Davney Honwani was given his marching orders for obstructing Shandukani Mukoma outside the penalty area. It took Rospa United 76 minutes to find the equaliser. Mashudu “Tlolo” Mashapha scored with a long-range volley. United failed to increase the margin, although Stars were playing defensive football after United’s equaliser.
