The visitors stamped their authority early in the game, with forward Tiang Sebakeng stealing the show. Sebakeng netted an incredible four goals, proving too much for the Old Parks defence to handle. His teammate, Otlametsi Matshane, added to the tally, rounding off a dominant display from Fleurhof City.
Old Parks struggled to find their rhythm throughout the match, but managed to pull one back late in the game to avoid a clean sheet loss.
Despite the disappointing result, Old Parks’ coach Jean Irie remained calm in his post-match comments. “It’s never nice to start the season with a loss, especially at home, but it’s a long season and we’ll bounce back,” said Irie. “The boys are still finding their feet.”

Fleurhof City coach Thabang Radebe was delighted with the performance, particularly after a shaky start to the season. “We just started an academy and this is our first season in the league,” he said. “It’s a great response to last week’s loss and a step in the right direction for us. The boys executed the game plan well.”
Fleurhof City will be hoping to carry this momentum into their next fixture, while Old Parks look to regroup and secure their first points of the season.
