Tshiozwi Anchors were crowned new champions of the Commac Cup, after they beat the defending champions, Makhitha Oscar Stars, 2-1in the final at Muduluni on Sunday.

Both sides played attacking football in the first half, making the match entertaining to watch. Stars had their first regret in the seventh minute. Godwin Mahuwa missed a golden chance when he shot wide. Vhutshilo Mafunisa and Phethani Sikhwivhilu of Anchors were booked for different infringements. No goal was scored in the first half.

In the second half, Anchors brought on Steven Ramalivha for Andries Masingi, who was looking tired. The introduction of Ramalivha changed the complexion of the match as he distributed good passes to their strikers.

Realizing that their chances were slim, Stars abandoned their positions and packed themselves at the far back. The speedy striker of Anchors, Aluwani “Killer” Nedzamba, beat all the defenders and passed the ball to Khakhu Tshilinga, who didn't waste any time to score easily.

The wheel of fortune turned against Stars in the 79th minute. Their defender, Itani Selota, failed to stop a cross-ball from Kgotso Maphala and Khakhu Tshilinga completed his brace.

Late in the match, Vhutshilo Mafunisa of Anchors handled the ball inside his penalty area and the referee pointed to the white spot. Sydney Lubengo scored from the spot to make the score 2-1.
