Liso Africa U13 walked away as 2–1 winners on June 28, after an intense soccer game against Highlands Park U13 at the Linksfield grounds.
Parents and guardians were present to support their teams and cheered them on when goals were scored.
Mduduzi Yende, Liso Africa coach, said although his team won, the team could’ve performed better.
“We played, but we didn’t have the aggression I was looking for. The boys were not enthusiastic, which made them look like they took the game for granted; hence, we conceded a goal later in the game.”
