Last Sunday marked the end of the road for Shayandima Silver Stars in the Vhembe Mayoral Challenge Cup competition.

They were brutally walloped 1-7 by Tshakhuma RO United at the Tshifulanani Stadium. Silver Stars were out of touch from the onset. It took United nine minutes to open their account. Ipfi Muthubi caught the keeper of Stars, Phethani Muswodi, napping and blasted in a rocket from the edge of the box.

What followed thereafter was one-way traffic, with the Stars at the receiving end.

United's second goal came in the 18th minute. Lufuno Mugodi scored with a volley after receiving a neat pass from Elvis Netshidongololwe.

Silver Stars lost hope after United scored their third goal. Lufuno Mugodi completed his brace by hooking in a loose ball, following a scramble within the box.

Silver Stars pulled one back in the 34th minute. Ndivhuwo Mahwasane was on target after forcing his way through the defence of United. Stars’ solitary goal was a wake-up call to United. They scored two more goals before the end of the first half. Their fourth goal was scored by their overlapping midfielder, Asivhanzhi Muthubi.

Mathisa scored United’s fifth goal three minutes before the break. He finished off a rebound after Asivhanzhi Muthubi’s long-range ground cutter.

Victor Makhaukhau scored United’s sixth goal 10 minutes into the second half. Ndivhuwo Makhado scored late in the game to bring the final score to 7-1.
