It was another action-packed round of Varsity Football, as 11 goals were scored across the four matches last Thursday evening.
The University of Pretoria won a heated Tshwane derby with the last kick of the game, collecting their third successive win and handing the Tshwane University of Technology their first defeat of the 2022 Varsity tournament.
The defending champions the University of Johannesburg beat the North West University, who lost their lead on the log.
Record Varsity Football winners were hosting local rivals TUT in the Tshwane derby at the Tuks Stadium. The match was fairly even in the first 45 minutes and went goalless into the break.
Tuks eventually took the lead in minute 56 when Ntokozo Madela was once again on the scoresheet to hand his side the much-celebrated lead.
The game remained tight until the final minutes when it came to life in injury time.
First, the Red Machine equalised in the 93rd minute via a screamer by Surprise Khoza, but the Stripe Generation immediately hit back just seconds later when substitute Marco Giuricich was at the end of a pin-point cross to make it 2-1 for the home side, much to the enjoyment of the home crowd.
Tuks brought home the three points, making it back-to-back-to-back wins while handing the Red Machine their first defeat.
The three points saw Tuks climb above TUT on nine points, while the visitors remained on eight.
Man of the match: Goitseone Phasha (Tuks)
