Rospa United registered another convincing victory by beating Ray Pillars 4-1 in their Safa Second Division match at the Univen Stadium on Saturday.

Rospa displayed entertaining football from the onset, with their midfielders dishing out telling passes to the goal poachers. They were not lucky enough to score within the first five minutes as the visitors from Polokwane were just running around like headless chickens at that stage.

In the 11th minute, United’s left winger, Samuel “Fire” Mohloa, dished a square pass from the left corner. As if they were hypnotized, his team mates watched the ball, which needed a mere touch to cross the goal line, roll to the right corner and finally cross the touch line for a throw-in. Rospa found the long-awaited opening goal in the 26th minute. Kenneth “Mabena” Lesia connected a square pass from Samuel Mohloa.

Pillars lost touch after United’s first goal and the home side was quick to score their second. This time around, “Fire” Mohloa dribbled past two Pillars defenders before unleashing a ground cutter. The half-time score was 2-0.

George Serakoane of Pillars was reprimanded with a card for obstructing United’s dribbling wizard, Velile Mdaka. Mdaka caused an upset in the 57th minute. He shot straight to the keeper when everyone thought he would take his time and pick up a spot.

United scored the third through Mngoma Simango. He beat the keeper with a long-range volley. Mdaka made amends and scored in the 69th minute. He gave the ball the final touch, following some duel moves with Kenneth Lesia.

Pillars’ solitary goal came in the 76th minute. Happy Mabuela headed home after a corner kick.
