Mutandani Pull Together continued to collect vital league points by beating Thohoyandou Development FC 3-1 in the MMK Administrators Soccer League at the Thohoyandou Wisdom grounds on Sunday.
Development created some promising moves from behind in the opening minutes, but their strikers let them down by shooting aimlessly. Their overlapping midfielder, Mulalo Ragadza, had his chance in the 15th minute. He received a neat pass from Zwivhuya Neluheni and shot wide from just outside the box.
The visitors from Lwamondo knocked on Development's door in the 24th minute. Ronald Midana tried his luck from the edge of the box. His volley hit the crossbar and bounced out of the field of play for a goal kick.
That did not kill their fighting spirit as they continued to play like a team afterwards. Pull Together were rewarded with a goal in the 29th minute. Mazwifhi Khangale was on target, following a mix-up within the box.
Thohoyandou Development lost cohesion in the middle of the park after the goal. They were severely punished and Pull Together made it 2-0 before the half-time whistle. Their second goal came via Ronald Midana, whose close-range ground cutter was too hot for the Development keeper, Zwoluga Mabuda, to handle.
Things turned against Pull Together three minutes into the last half. Their right back, Tsumbo Netshifhefhe, was given his marching orders, following a second bookable offence. That did not stop Pull Together from scoring their third goal in the 64th minute. Robert Nedzamba beat the keeper with a volley after beating the offside trap.
Dakalo Tshithavhane scored for Development late in the game.
