Not only did Vhembe FET College FC collect three significant league points in their SAB League match against Dididi Flying Swallows at the Makwarela Stadium on Saturday, but they also registered a historic final score of 5-0.
The game was one-way traffic flow from the onset to the bitter end, with Flying Swallows at the receiving end.
Vhutshilo Davhula of FET College was a marvel to watch. He scored a hat trick in the match. Davhula was everywhere, forcing the opponents' defence to work overtime. Davhula made his presence felt nine minutes into the game by scoring with a header, following a neat square pass from Mpho Madzhara.
Realizing that pressure was mounting with time, Swallows started to demonstrate their rough skills. The referee calmed the situation down by reprimanding Takalani Singo with a card.
Although Swallows made two changes to their original line-up in the 20th minute, it was not enough to stop the students from the FET college from invading their territory. They introduced Masindi Mutwanamba and Mpfariseni Nduvheni for Phathutshdzo Mudau and Takalani Singo respectively.
Davhula was on target again in the 28th minute. His long-range volley was too hot for the Swallows' keeper, Abraham Tshishonga, to handle. The score was 2-0 at the end of the first half.
FET college replaced Gudani Makhada with Pfunzo Razwimisani early in the last half. They then scored three goals in quick succession. Davhula completed his hat trick in the 54th minute. He hooked in the ball after a scramble within the box. Luambo Nethononda and a substitute, Pfunzo Razwimisani, scored the fourth and the fifth goal in the 59th and 64th minute respectively. Vhembe displayed their dribbling skills for the remaining part of the game.
