Univen FC registered their second consecutive victory, when they beat Shayandima Silver Stars 5-3 in an SAB match at the University of Venda Stadium on Saturday.

Silver Stars did not throw in the towel, despite the fact that the home side was leading 4-0 at some stage. Takalani Ramagalela of Univen was a thorn in the flesh of the opponents. He scored four goals in the game. His first one came when the game was nine minutes old. He made no mistake after receiving a neat pass from Bright Mavimele just outside the box.

The goal marked the starting point of one-way traffic. Ramagalela was on target again in the 24th minute after a scramble within the box. Their third goal was scored by Pfarelo Lifhiga. Lifhiga tapped the ball in, following Nigel Thobejane’s square pass. Ramagalela scored in the 38th minute with a header. The score was 4-0 when the teams adjourned for half time.

The second half saw Silver Stars shine brighter over the students. They pulled one back through Fhatuwani Maphari, whose ground cutter looked too hot for the Univen keeper, Fhumulani Ramasunga, to handle.

Avhashoni Nkhumeleni scored in the 58th minute to make it 4-2. Univen lost cohesion in the middle of the park soon after the Stars’ second goal. They were punished for that as Silver Stars scored their third goal soon afterwards. The goal was a wakeup call to the students. They increased the margin three minutes before the end of regulation time. Takalani Ramagalela tried his luck from outside the box. The keeper of Stars watched helplessly as the ball hit the back of the net.
