Rospa United shared the glory with Winners Park following their 1-1 draw in their Vodacom Promotional League match at the packed Tshifulanani Stadium on Sunday.

Winners Park enjoyed ball possession in the first 15 minutes of the game.

At that stage, the home side was running for cover. United gained momentum as the game progressed. It was in the 11th minute when Winners Park threatened to score for the first time. Their left-footed frontrunner, Godfrey Bapela, could not believe his eyes when his close-range shot missed the target by inches.

The struggle continued, with Winners Park dictating terms in the middle of the park.  Realizing that the odds were against them, United solidified their midfield by introducing Thinandavha Mandiba for Sbusiso Shabangu in the 24th minute.

The visitors from Mokopane broke the deadlock in the 28th minute. Kholofelo Monama unleashed a powerful shot, following a beautiful pass from Mzwakhe Mtimkulu. United lost shape in the middle soon after the goal for Winners Park. They nearly conceded another goal because of that. David Shibiri of Winners Park hesitated for far too long to unleash, until he lost possession within the box.

The local lads fought back in the 38th minute. Mashudu Mashapha beat the keeper with a half volley after a neat pass from Nndateni Sebola.

The last half saw United replace Happy Mahuntsi and Rolivhuwa Mukwevho with Skhumbuzo Shabangu and Hloniphani Maluleke respectively. The referee, Ms Lufuno Nemagovhani, warned Tsepo Molala of Winners Park with a card for faking an injury later in the game.
