GIYANI – Dynamos gave Jomo Cosmos a tough time when they shared the glory, following a goalless draw in a Castle Premiership League match played at the Giyani Stadium on Sunday. The score was not a true reflection of the game as it was characterised by squandered opportunities.

Although both sides had missed a number of chances, Dynamos had more regrets, especially after the introduction of their killer striker, Joel Seroba later in the second half. The game nearly took an ugly dimension when the players of both teams started to display rough play skills.

The situation was calmed by the referee, Harry Lekitjane, who flashed three yellow cards in quick succession. The first player to go into his book was Manuel Bucuane of Cosmos. He tackled Josam Ndou from behind. Sello Motshumi of Dynamos and Andrew Rabutla of Cosmos followed suit a little later.

Dynamos were fighting without their Zambian coach, Mr Jacob Sakala who was given marching orders in their match against Sundowns Football Club at the Thohoyandou Stadium before Christmas.

The domestic lads introduced Timothy Nkosi and Joel Seroba at the expense of Mpho Dagada and Jacky Ledwaba in the 60th minute. Seroba forced a deadly combination with Josam Ndou and Frank Makua at the forefront and thus kept the Cosmos defence running for cover.

Cosmos also introduced two faces later in the game. Mark Hakinson and Brian Sebapole came on for Bamuza Sono and Kingwana Bazilepo respectively.

Ezinkosi fought the last twenty minutes with their hands tied to their backs. Their marksman, Innocent Ntsume, saw red for kicking Frank Makua from behind in the 70th minute.

The Dynamos substitute, Timothy Nkosi was also booked for a bad tackle on Brian Sebapole.
