Killers teach Miluwani’s Boys a lesson

 

Sport  Date: 29 May 2015

 

Mukula Mighty Killers booked a place in the quarterfinal stage of the MTG and PIB Soccer Challenge, when they walloped Miluwani Happy Boys 5-0 at the Khubvi Benjies grounds on Sunday.

Mpho “Jomo” Musehane scored four goals in the game.

The score was not a true reflection of the game as Happy Boys were by far the better side when it came to ball possession.

Musehane was on target in the 18th minute. He unleashed a long-range ground cutter from the 25-meter area. The keeper of Happy Boys, Lufuno Sithubabila, fumbled with the ball.

Happy Boys continued to dictate terms in the middle of the park, but their strikers were unlucky. Mighty Killers came close to scoring again in the 27th minute. Ndisha Nkhelebeni dribbled past two defenders in a row and shot wide from close range. Killers were still leading 1-0 at half time.

As if they were leading, Happy Boys started to play defensive football. Mighty Killers capitalized and scored their second goal in the 58th minute. The keeper of Happy Boys, Lufuno Sithubabila, palmed the ball back into play. Jomo Musehane, who was in the perfect scoring position, made no mistake.

Vhutshilo Makwarela of Happy Boys was reprimanded with card for a late tackle on Patrick Mmbi in the 65th minute. Mighty Killers put matters beyond doubt three minutes later. Jomo Musehane went loose from the right corner and unleashed a half volley that was too hot for the keeper to handle.

Happy Boys continued to enjoy ball possession, but it was difficult for them to find their way through the defence of Killers. Jomo Musehane was on target again to make it 4-0 in the 76th minute, following a scramble within the box. Killers started to entertain their fans with their dribbling skills. They scored the fifth via Khathu Bebeda in the dying minutes.
