FREE STATE STARS VS GOLDEN ARROWS | ABSA

Competition: PSL
Date: Wednesday, 21 September 2016
Venue: Goble Park
Kick-off: 18:00pm

Abafana Bes’thende have secured an away win in their fixture against Free State Stars tonight. A last minute goal from Lehlohonolo Nonyane secured the 3 points for the team after a tightly contested game.

It was not an easy game this evening, and Free State Stars fought a great battle in front of their home crowd, in a game that could have gone either way. The first half saw no goals, with both teams making good use of their possession and position to get into the last third and threaten the opposing teams goals. Free State Stars had a slight dominance on the first half and some great keeping from Mbaeva ensured that they never found the back of the net.

Free State Stars continued the dominance in the second stanza and had a number of attacking plays that again saw them get into promising scoring positions, but just not finishing off. That seemed like the game plan of the night, with Lamontville Golden Arrows livening up and creating chances but not managing to finish off and convert the team effort to points.

It was into final stoppage time that Abafana Bes’thende managed to get their goal after Nonyane was in the box after a final attacking play. He was well positioned for the cross and ,managed to beat the keeper and clinch the win for the team.

The team will travel again to play Bleomfontein Celtic at Molemela Stadium on Sunday at 15h00
