Tshakhuma Na Ndilani (TNN) started their Amos Charity Shield Soccer Tournament program on a bad note, when they lost 0-1 to Maweja Takers at the Tshiemuemu grounds on Saturday.

TNN, or Makhurabada as they are affectionately called, rectified their mistakes and beat Tshakhuma Peace Lovers 1-0 at the Malaria grounds the following day.

Their 1-0 victory over Tshakhuma Peace Lovers on Sunday was not a true reflection of the game as Makhurabada squandered numerous scoring opportunities. Their goal scorer, Ndamulelo Mukwevho, was the first player to miss an opportunity. He received a neat pass from Thabiso Lekgau in the 14th minute and unleashed a volley from the edge of the box. The ball hit the woodwork and bounced back into the field of play.

Peace Lovers came close to scoring in the 24th minute. They were awarded a free kick in the 35-meter area, after Dakalo Mudau was brought down. Their left-footed striker, Zwanga Muvhango, tried his luck from the free kick. The keeper of TNN, Fhulufhelo Nemusumani, braved the shot and executed a brilliant save.

Rofhiwa Mukwevho of TNN was lucky to escape with a yellow card in the 34th minute. He handled the ball intentionally after losing possession. The goal which separated the boys from the men came in the 38th minute. Ndamulelo Mukwevho finished off a rebound after a scramble within the box.
