The current log leaders in the Safa Vhembe SAB Stream E, Benny's Care Academy, beat Madombidzha Arsenal 1-0 in a league match played at the Tshiozwi grounds on Sunday.
It was a do-or-die battle for the two teams. Arsenal's side was strong at the far back and boasted a decent striking force, but they lacked cohesion in the middle of the park. The balls that threatened the defence of Arsenal were ballooned from behind. Arsenal enjoyed more ball possession, but their promising moves were neutralised by the rock-solid defence of Benny's.
No goal was seen during the first half. This was mainly because Benny's were cooling the ball down in the middle of the park, thus giving their opponents no chance to do as they pleased.
The only goal for Benny's was scored in the 78th minute. Rendani Galedzane tried his luck from a corner kick and the keeper of Arsenal, Rendani Maduwa, misjudged the flight of the ball and then suffered the pain of watching it go beyond his reach.
The visitors introduced Shoni Leaka for Mbengeni Rambuwani, but his introduction did not change the complexion of the match as their opponent's defence was solid at the back.
