Makovha All Stars beat Tshakhuma KK Revolution 7-6 in the final of the Big Four Soccer Tournament at the Tsianda Gwamasenga grounds on Sunday.

KK Revolution took the game to their opponents from the word go, creating some dangerous moves from behind. They were rewarded for their efforts in the 19th minute. Lindelani “Monza” Mbedzi unleashed from the outside the box and the keeper of Stars palmed the ball back into the net while trying to clear.

All Stars retaliated four minutes before the break. Mashudu Muthabeni caught the keeper off guard and beat him with a half volley. Revolution replaced Fhumulani Mutshinya with Lucky Raphulu early in the last half. Revolution took the lead again through Dakalo Mashanzhe in the 59th minute. It took the Stars 78 minutes to find the equaliser. Nkateko Khosa beat the offside trap and beat the keeper with a ground cutter.

The winner was determined through penalty shootout as the score was 2-2 when the referee blew the final whistle.

Makovha All Stars converted all five their chances through Mulanga Mudau, Hulisani Vhulayani, Shumani Munyai, Shumani Ngobeni and Stanley Khuzwayo, while Revolution managed to score four after Dakalo Mashanzhe’s ground cutter was saved.

Makovha All Stars were presented with a cash prize of R 2000 during a ceremony which was held at the grounds shortly after the final. All the other teams went back home with empty hands as it was a winner-takes-all tournament.
