TS Galaxy Queens maintain at-home winning streak
TS Galaxy Queens’s coach applauded his team’s dedication and hard work, while AmaTuks coach said they will work on the mistakes they made at KaNyamazane Stadium.
The TS Galaxy Queens extended their winning record at home with a 3-0 victory against the University of Pretoria Women (AmaTuks) in the Hollywoodbets Super League at KaNyamazane Stadium on May 4.
The Queens’ dominance was evident from the first half. They scored their first goal through their striker, Nicole Michael, which set the tone for the rest of the match. AmaTuks’ goalkeeper, Kay-dee Windvogel, made some crucial saves in the first half.
The match went to the half-time break with the Queens leading l-0.
In the second half, AmaTuks pushed hard to create scoring opportunities after introducing three attacking wingers, but TS Galaxy’s defence remained solid.

Additional shots at goal further pressured the AmaTuks side and eventually the Queens’ midfielder, Nomvula Kgoale, scored a long-range goal to make the score 2-0.
Refiloe Jane’s Olympico (a goal that is scored directly from a corner kick) secured the Queens 3-0 victory.
This was Jane’s first goal since joining the Queens as a midfielder this season. “I am happy that I scored my first goal of the season and for the team and I hope for more goals to come. It would not have been be possible if the team were not supporting me. We have been working very hard when it comes to this league and I am happy that we got three points. I am also excited to be on the pitch again after a long injury,” said Jane.
The Queens’ coach, Sizwe Sibiya, said the effort the players put into training and games shows a dedication to win the league title.
“We are blessed to have such a group of players. They make sure to collect points, especially at home. We want to maintain this momentum and keep moving forward.”

AmaTuks’ coach, Nombuso Khumalo, said their plan did not go well and her players did not apply her instructions on the pitch.
“We managed to find the forward passes in the second half, but we did not convert them into goals. We knew that we are playing an experienced side, but I felt like we respected our opponents as they had more energy and chances. I am very proud of the goalkeeper for those saves because our opponents could have punished us even more,” said Khumalo.
