Another easy victory for Rockers FC

 

Rockers FC continued to pave their way to the ABC Motsepe League, following their 3-0 victory over Mutuwa Brazilians in their MMK Administrators League match at the Makwarela Stadium on Sunday.

It was a one-sided affair from the first whistle, with the Brazilians from Mavhola village at the receiving end. Realizing that there was nothing to fear, Rockers started to demonstrate their dribbling skills in the opening minutes in a bid to frustrate the visitors. A scramble within the Brazilians' danger area gave rise to the opening goal for Rockers in the 14th minute. Phindulo Mudau hooked in the ball to give his side a well-deserved lead.

As if they were leading, the Brazilians abandoned their positions and packed themselves at the far back. That gave the home side a good chance to dictate terms in the middle of the park. Rockers extended their lead in the 29th minute. Their overlapping defender, Tshifhiwa Ramaphosa, forced his way through the defence of Brazilians and unleashed a ground cutter from close range. The keeper of Brazilians, Adivhaho Makhesha, watched helplessly as the ball went beyond his reach.

The referee, Mr Roy Mulaudzi, flashed the first yellow card in the 39th minute. Unarine Kudzingana of Rockers was warned for ignoring the referee’s whistle. He kicked the ball away long after the whistle was blown.

Rockers used all their substitution chances in the last half. They replaced Andani Ndou, Phindulo Mudau and Unarine Kudzingana with Tshimangadzo Matamela, Rotondwa Kutama and Ofhani Mudau respectively. Abel Tshivhonammbi of Brazilians was booked for dangerous play in the 64th minute. Murhangeri Khosa scored the Rockers’ third goal 10 minutes before the final whistle.
