Godfrey "Adibayo" Mudau was a marvel to watch when his side, Univen FC, beat Tswinga Peace Makers 2-0 in their MMK Funeral Services League match at the Tswinga grounds on Sunday.
Mudau was everywhere, assisting the midfielders when the need arose and playing as a centre forward in the meantime.
Both sides managed to display entertaining football, despite the fact that rain was drizzling in the area throughout the game. The former Rospa United attacking midfielder, Freedom "Danger" Zwivhuya, had his chance nine minutes into the game. He received an excellent pass from Ronny Matodzi just outside the penalty box. Instead of unleashing, Zwivhuya chose to give the responsibility to Adibayo Mudau, who was in an awkward position to score. Mudau, unfortunately, shot far wide.
Peace Makers strengthened their midfield by introducing Hulisani Mamatho and Ndumeliso Matodzi for Lufuno Ramudzuli and Gole Raulinga in the 29th and 34th minute respectively.
The Univen keeper, Eugene Mbedzi, was put to the test three minutes afterwards. He was made to save Thomas Mudau's long-range volley. Univen took the lead in the 39th minute. Adibayo Mudau broke through the defence of Peace Makers and beat the keeper with a ground cutter to bring the half-time score to 1-0.
Univen utilized all three their substitution chances in the last half. They replaced Thami Simelani, Ofhani Nelukalo and Rudzani Ratshilumela with Ishmael Matodzi, Wisani Baloyi and Laughter Nthangeni respectively. Madilonga Mukwevho of Univen was the only player who was reprimanded with a card. He tackled Ndumeliso Matodzi the rough way in the 69th minute.
Adibayo completed his brace in the 80th minute. He won a loose ball from the centre of the pitch and ran straight towards the keeper to show him the wrong way.
