The club, who are top of the log, four points above Randburg Football Club, played host to Sporting Football Club at their home grounds, Hattingh Park.

The first teams took to the field, in what was a must-win match for Luso if they hoped to maintain their log lead, and quickly it became clear that the home team was in charge.

The teams headed into half-time with Luso firmly in the lead with a score of 3-0.

The second half was much the same as the first with Luso picking up where they left off and dominating play.

Team captain Igor Ivanov soon scored the fourth goal of the game pushing Luso even further ahead of their opponents.

Sporting, determined not to go down without a fight, soon sneaked the ball past Luso’s goalkeeper, during a late penalty shot, however, this was soon counteracted when the visiting team fumbled and scored an own goal, restoring Luso’s four-goal lead.
