Guvhungwa Young Fighters managed to collect the maximum points when they beat Tshiphuseni All Stars 1-0 in their MMK Funeral Services match at the Tshiphuseni Munwai Primary School grounds on Sunday.

The match started at a slow pace, with Young Fighters using slow buildups to launch their attacks. Stars' slender striker, Fhatuwani Mulaudzi, wasted a great chance to grab the lead in theeighth minute, when he tried to control the ball instead of picking the spot. This was after he received a terrific cross from Shonisani Mavhambe.

Stars' coach was forced to make an early substitute in the 18^th minute. He introduced Khumbelo Ligege and sacrificed Rofhiwa Matidza. Matidza was looking weary from the onset. Azwihangwisi Mutavhatsindi of Young Fighters was unlucky not to break the ice in the 24^th minute, but his shot from inside the penalty box was saved by keeper Vhulenda Matshinyatsimbi.

Stars effected another change to their starting lineup towards the end of the first half. They replaced Vusani Magoro with Rabelani Muobeleni. Azwihangwisi Mutavhatsindi wasted another clear-cut scoring chance on the stroke of half time when he opted to control the ball instead of taking a shot at goal.

Martin Mathebula of Stars missed a glorious chance three minutes into the last half. At that stage,  Fighters’ keeper, Corhan Mukwevho, was already beaten. The goal which separated the boys from men came in the 67^th minute. Ndiambani Mphakwe used his left foot to hook the ball into the net.

Nkateko Nyari of All Stars went into the referee’s book for pulling Dalton Managa's jersey at the edge of the penalty box.

Young Fighters frustrated the opponents by playing long balls from behind in the last 15 minutes of the game. The strategy worked for them as they managed to defend their 1-0 lead until the referee, Mr Phineas Rambau, blew the final whistle.
