Spurs fly into second
Spurs went on to score a fourth, with the hosts scoring a late consolation goal.
Brakpan Spurs first-team leapt into second place in the Eastern Local Football Association (ELFA) league on Saturday.
This is after they beat Bedfordview 4-2 in an away match. The match, however, did not start well for Spurs as they went a goal behind within five minutes of kick-off.
Falling behind seemed to be what Spurs needed as they quickly got into the game creating chances. They got the equaliser from a corner kick, with Zakhele Kunene hitting a spectacular volley.

The Brakpan side continued to attack, with Bedfordview’s defence committing numerous errors at the back.
One of those mistakes saw a shot by Sidumo Munene handled by a defender in the 18-yard box, giving the referee no choice but to point to the penalty spot.
Nkululeko Sidzamba slotted in from 12 yards to give Spurs a 2-1 lead at half-time. The Brakpan team picked up where they left off in the second period and it came as no surprise when Kunene scored his team’s third goal.
