We came away with maximum points in our encounter against Stellenbosch FC tonight.

The side started the game looking positive and determined to score today and this came true on the 15th minute as Pule Mmodi found the back of the net to open our account.

We dominated play in the first half but missed a number of chances to extend the lead through attempts from Mutizwa, Parusnath and a second from Mmodi.

At the break, this sentiment was extended to the team by Coach Ncikazi, inviting the players to make better use of the chances created.

In the second stanza, some positional changes by Stellenbosch FC saw them play back into the game a bit ,chasing a two goal lead after M.Gumede scored in the 55th minute.

They managed to close the gap in the 62nd minute off a goal from Mendieta and threatened our defense a couple of times.

We sealed the game in the 77th minute, M.Gumede getting his brace off a mistake from the Stellies defense.

The boys pulled together from this point and once again dominated play while retaining the lead until full time.

We return home and prepare for our home game against Black Leopards on the 23rd February.
