In their Safa Second Division League match at the Malamulele Stadium in Saturday, Phungo All Stars fought hard to earn a point against Rospa United, when they played to a goalless draw.

Both sides were under the guidance of new coaches. The former Ria Stars’ midfielder, Sydney Moshikaro, was giving orders from Rospa's technical bench, while the former Black Leopards and Dynamos assistant coach, Mr Joel Masutha, was guiding the Stars players.

Rospa had nobody but themselves to blame for giving away two points at home. They squandered numerous scoring chances. Their captain, Mashudu “Tlolo” Mashapha, was the first player to cause an upset. He fumbled at the goal finish at a time when the fans had already started celebrating what they thought was a sure goal.

Phungo effected two changes before the end of the first half. They replaced Tsekisi Tala and Mmazwi Segwari with Vuyani Mateu and Mpho Sekgobela respectively. Tsekisi and Segwari were out of touch from the onset.

Realising that there was not enough pressure on the defence of Stars, Rospa introduced Sydney Chauke at the expense of Collins Mandlakati early in the second half. Mashudu Mashapha of United was warned with a card for a late tackle on Nkhumeleni Todani. Marks Munyai of United could not believe his eyes when he shot wide from inside the box. He initiated some duel moves with Oscar Silima from the centre of the pitch and failed to channel the return pass to the target, much to the disappointment of the team’s fans.
