Tshipako Hotspurs were by far too hot for Vhutalu Mountain Rangers when they beat them 4-2 in their Munyamela Soccer Tournament match that was played at the Muhuyu Grounds on Sunday.

Hotspurs approached the game aggressively. They made things difficult for Mountain Rangers when they scored three goals in the first half. Tshimangadzo Ndalamo scored the first goal when he tried his luck from outside the box. The keeper of Rangers, Tshifhiwa Gandamipfa, watched helplessly as the ball landed at the back of his net.

Although they were still in control of the game, Hotspurs were the first to effect a change to their original line-up. They replaced Phathutshedzo Munyai with Zwivhuya Mulibana. They increased the margin in the 24th minute when Tshimangadzi Ndalamo completed his brace after a neat pass from Vusani Neluheni.

Mountain Rangers lost cohesion as the game progressed. Hotspurs capitalized on this and scored their third goal in the 28th minute. Avhafarei Mavhungu hit the target, following a scramble within the box.

Mountain Rangers pulled one back four minutes before half time.

The last half saw Mountain continue from where they left off in the first stanza. Their substitute, Joseph Ndou, made his presence felt when he blasted in a rocket from outside the box to bring the score to 3-2.

Mountain Rangers came close to scoring again when Zwivhuya Kwinda shot wide from the edge of the box. Hotspurs were awarded a place kick in the 78th minute. Zwivhuya Kwinda scored when Livhuwani Nengome deflected the ball back into his own net.
