Shock defeat for Limpopo’s Baroka FC

 

Sport  Date: 12 December 2013

 

Baroka FC are still in mourning. The Sekhukhune side is still battling to come to terms with what happened to them last weekend. They came back with empty hands from their away fixture against Blackburn Rovers at the Gelvandale Stadium in East London.

Although Baroka were the first to score, their celebrations were cut short as the home side retaliated within a short space of time. The final score was 3-2 for Rovers.

United FC and Chippa United shared the spoils 1-1 at the Philipi Stadium. Chippa were lucky to grab a point from the match as their equalizing goal came three minutes before the final whistle.

Sivutsa Stars failed to impress their home fans. They played to a goalless draw with Jomo Cosmos at the Kabokweni Stadium in Nelspruit. Cosmos realised that it was not their day when they were awarded a penalty in the 29th minute. Their demon midfielder, Derick Moore, made an unforgettable blunder by shooting straight to the keeper from the penalty spot.

The rookies, Maluti FET College, moved a few steps up on the log when they beat FC Cape Town 3-2 at the Charles Mopedi Stadium in Phuthaditshaba. The students are now in the 11th position on the log, following their victory.

Santos came back from a 0-2 half-time deficit and played their hearts out to hold Witbank Spurs to a 2-2 draw at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town. Vasco da Gama were unstoppable when they beat African Warriors 3-1 at the Parow Park Stadium in Cape Town.

Back in Limpopo, Black Leopards beat the logleaders, Milano United FC, 2-1 at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.
