Sifiso’s brace inspires Celtics

eMBALENHLE – A brace from Sifiso Masheule handed Junior Celtics FC a victory of 2 – 1 against Remember Academy during the Kwa-Sechebo Promotion league at eHlazweni Ground on Saturday, 15 March.

It was a rather slow beginning to the match with neither side venturing too far forward in their attack.

Both clubs struggled to keep possession of the ball early on and squandered possession with some poor passing.

The game sprang into life though and Mncedisi Hlatswayo gave Remember the lead when he fired a shot inside the penalty area.

Celtics tried to hit back before the break, but the clubs entered halftime with Remember in the lead.

The beginning of the second half saw Celtics controlling the possession stakes as they tried to get back into the match, but they were unable to pass through Remember’s defence.

Celtics continued to push forward and their effort was rewarded when Sifiso scored the first goal for his side.

His second goal came a minute later when he broke through on the right and showed composure inside the box before burying his low shot into the back of the net.

Sifiso grabbed his second goal of the day a minute later.

Remember tried to put pressure on their opponents in the remaining minutes, but it was too late to equalise.

Celtics will play against Sasol Juventus FC at Centrum Park Evander and Remember will meet Secunda Celtics FC at Secunda Club at 1pm on 22 March.
