Bucs and Dragons in thrilling draw

 

Sport  Date: 16 March 2012

 

The Limpopo Dairy league match between Gogobole Bucs and Ravele Black Dragons ended in 1-all draw at Gogobole on Sunday.

Although two players of the home team went into the referee's book in the opening minutes, Bucs continued to fight as an organised team. The visiting side came close to scoring in the 17th minute. Benny Nyama shot wide, with only the keeper to beat.

Bucs started to cool the ball in the middle of the park and they continued to mount pressure on the defence of the visitors. They were the first to draw blood. In the 36th minute, Tshimomo Mbambu blasted in a loose ball, after a scramble within the box. The match was stopped for about 10 minutes, after Bucs alleged that Dragons had fielded an over-age player instead of fielding an U/19 player.

Dragons replaced Dakalo Mukhavhuli with Caiven Mohloding later in the game. That proved to be a clever move on the part of the Dragons' technical side. Their long-awaited  equaliser came in the 74th minute. Azwindini Mungoni dribbled past two defenders in a row and beat the Bucs keeper, Khongelani Baloyi.
