Mukula Young Santos enhanced their chances of finishing their promotional playoff matches on top of their stream when they beat Seven United Brothers 4-2 at the Makwarela Stadium on Sunday.

It was the second victory for Santos after beating Matsakali Sky Rangers 3-0 at the same venue earlier that day.

Their match against United Brothers was characterized by wasted scoring opportunities. After squandering two clear chances within the first 10 minutes of the game, Santos finally did it in the 14th minute. Their Rastafarian striker, Rendani Madega, who scored a brace in their match against Sky Rangers, scored easily from a brilliant pass by Phathutshedzo Nethengwe.

Seven United Brothers lost cohesion in the middle of the field soon after Santos's opening goal. Santos capitalised and scored again in the 29th minute. This time around it was Fhulufhedzani Ramudzuli who gave the ball the final touch.

As if they were leading, Seven United Brothers started to play defensive football. Realizing that Brothers were disorganized in the midfield, Santos allowed the ball to land at the centre circle most of the time. Freedom Makhuvha scored the third to bring the half-time score to 3-0.

Seven United Brothers effected three changes to their stating lineup in a bid to make a quick comeback, but that did not change the complexion of the game. Christopher Tshikovhele, who came on as a substitute for Nndateni Netshitadi, scored their fourth goal with a long-range ground cutter.

Fhulufhedzani Ramudzuli of Santos was warned with a card after an illegal tackle on Thabelo Nemakanga. Santos later replaced Vusani Nendauni with Avhatakali Tshivhase. United Brothers reduced one more through Rofunwa Silima six minutes before the final whistle.
