The Vhembe FET College collected full points at the expense of Makovha All Stars, whom they beat 2-0 in their MMK Funeral Services League match at the Makwarela Stadium on Saturday.

As if they were hypnotised, Makhovha All Stars were not playing the normal carpet football for which they are widely known. The students demonstrated that they were hungry for goals when they threatened to score in the first five minutes of the game. Their right flank, Moses “Jack” Razwimisani, could not believe his eyes when his close-range volley missed the goal mouth by inches.

All Stars started to play entertaining football soon afterwards, but it was only for a few moments. They soon reverted to their boring pattern.

That gave Vhembe a good chance to score their opening goal. It was Moses Razwimisani who made things happen. A heartbreaking scramble within the Stars’ danger area gave rise to a beautiful goal when Razwimisani blasted in a rocket from an awkward angle.

Permission Munwana of Stars found himself on the wrong side of the law in the 37th minute. He handled the ball intentionally and was lucky that the referee, Mr Mphireleni Mphephu, was lenient enough not to give him his marching orders. Vhembe FET increased the margin in the 59th minute. Jack Razwimisani was in the thick of things once more. This time around, he capitalized on a clearing error by the Stars' right back and beat the keeper with a ground cutter.

All Stars lost hope when they were reduced to ten men. Their keeper, Maanda Ndou, saw red after kicking Gudani Makhada on the brink of registering the students’ third goal. Realizing that victory was almost certain, the students started to entertain the team’s fans by demonstrating their dribbling skills for the remaining part of the game.
