Gogobole Bucs collected three points against Benny's Care when they beat them 2-1 in their MMK Administrators League match at a fully packed Tshiozwi grounds on Sunday afternoon.
Bucs rectified the mistakes they made on Saturday when they lost 1-0 to Madombidzha Arsenal, but the struggling Benny's continue to donate league points. At this stage they are at the bottom of the league log.
It was evident from the start that Bucs were going to collect full points as Benny's were outclassed in all departments. The absence of the Bucs's playmaker, Tsie Nndwambi, was evident from the onset as there was no one to win and distribute balls from the middle of the park to the goal poachers. Try Sebola of Bucs was reprimanded with a card for dangerous play on Yende Munyadziwa six minutes into the game.
It took Fire Boys 25 minutes to open their account. Their all-rounder, Thabelo Tharini, was on target, following a neat pass from Phethani Sikhwivhilu.
Benny's came close to scoring again in the 30th minute. Simon Makamu held onto the ball for too long within the Bucs' danger area, until he lost possession. The score was still 1-0 in favour of Bucs when the referee blew the half-time whistle.
Bucs introduced Dakalo Raudzingana for Khongelani Baloyi and Benny's responded by replacing Vonani Macheke with Mulalo Tshirema in the 67th minute. Bucs increased their margin in the 70th minute.Victor Mulaudzi won the ball just behind the centre line and ran towards the right corner, from where he dished up a square pass to Lutendo Mabasa. Mabasa beat Benny's keeper, Tolerence Sekhwela, with a ground cutter to give his side a 2-0 advantage.
After the goal, Benny's gained momentum with time. They reduced the margin in the 74th minute. Matlou Legora made no mistake after receiving a pre-cooked pass from Xihluke Mhlongo.
