Tshilapfene Arsenal Sporting collected the maximum points at the expense of Mapholi Kill Them All in their Thulamela Local Football Association League match at the Ngwenani Manchester grounds on Sunday.
Kill Them All were chasing the action for the better part of the game. The Arsenal strikers ran out of luck at the goal finish on countless occasions.
Arsenal's playmaker, Vusani "The General" Nendauni, was a marvel to watch throughout the game. He scored a brace to ensure that his side went home with a full complement of points. Arsenal opened their account 18 minutes into the game.
Nendauni made his presence felt after receiving a beautiful pass from Mutendi Mhlangwane. Instead of passing the ball back to Mhlangwane, who was running towards the box, Nendauni did the unexpected by forcing his way through the opposition's defence before unleashing a powerful ground cutter from the edge of the box.
The goal seemed to be a wake-up call to Kill Them All. They initiated several promising moves from behind. Their efforts did not pass without reward as they found the equalizer in the 28th minute. Mulalo Netshivhumbe gave the ball the final touch, following a scramble within the box.
Maanda Madzuwe of Arsenal and Fhatuwani Mukhuba of Kill Them All were booked for obstruction and dangerous play in the 59th and 64th minute respectively. Arsenal reclaimed the lead in the 78th minute. Nendauni beat the keeper with a half volley from the free kick and sealed the game.
