Fans enjoy a feast of the beautiful game

The appearance of certain teams among the last 64 qualifiers of the Selati Cup, became questionable when they were trashed by their opponents this past weekend.

Ntunda Big Seven set the standard for the teams when they locked heads with Zamalek at the Naas Stadium on Saturday.

They trashed their opponents by a six-goal margin when they grabbed an impressive 8-2 victory over their opponents.

No Mistake also did not put a foot wrong when they took on Sambo Block B. In an encounter which was not short on goals and a display of skills on the pitch, No Mistake secured a 4-2 win against Sambo Block B.

PVK Black Movers and SDN Real Aces slowed the momentum down during the third game of the day.

The clash was, however, also not short of goals, with both sides scoring single goals respectively, forcing the game to be decided on penalties.

During the penalty shootout, none of the sides was keen on letting go of their potential last 32 posting.

After a thrilling penalty shootout, PVK Black Movers walked off the pitch with a slender 9-8 penalty win.

Mbuzini Royal Lions were also made to fight very hard for a space in the next round when they hosted Kamhlushwa City Stars, during the last game of the day at Naas Stadium.

After 90 minutes of play, the two sides locked on a one-all draw, forcing another game to be decided on penalties.

Mbuzini Royal Lions also grabbed a single penalty 4-3 victory over their opponents. At the Kamhlushwa Stadium, Magogeni Junior Liverpool took on Lugedlane Rovers in the opening game of the day.

Spectators were not disappointed by their teams as they put on a great game, which produced five goals.

The scoreline was, however, in Magogeni Junior Liverpool’s favour, who walked away with three goals, while Lugedlane Rovers could only manage two after 90 minutes.

Driekoppies side, Mashaba United, showed why they deserved to continue their Selati Cup title chase.

Playing against Lubombo Young Stars, it was anyone’s game up until the second half when Mashaba United made child’s play of Lubombo Young Stars’ defense, scoring two goals in a matter of minutes.

During the match of the day for many, Mawewe Chiefs clipped off Masibekela Blue Birds’ wings. Mawewe Chiefs opened the scoring after only 15 minutes of play.

At half-time, Mawewe Chiefs were leading 2-0, with their goalkeeper hardly being called into action.

When the teams returned from the break, Masibekela Blue Birds were better composed and put on a much better performance.

Even after going down 3-0 minutes after the second stanza got underway, Masibekela Blue Birds, were looking threatening in making a comeback into the game.

Their relentless push towards Mawewe Chiefs’ goal spot paid off as they were able to score two goals and narrow their opposition’s lead. However, Mawewe Chiefs reasserted their dominance in the game and extended their lead once more.

After 90 minutes, the clash ended on a scoreline of 4-2 in favour of Mawewe Chiefs.

Langeloop Black Burn United concluded the games of the day when they took on Boschfontein Dynamos in a thrilling, however, limited goal clash.

Langeloop Black Burn reserved their last 32 spot with a 1-0 victory after 90 minutes of play.
