Tshakhuma RO United were unstoppable and brutally crushed their neighbours, Tshakhuma KK Revolution, 4-1 in their MMK Administrators League match at the Tshakhuma Tshibukuni grounds on Sunday.
The first half was a one-sided affair, with United dictating terms in the middle of the park. They scored three goals in the first half.
Their opening goal came in the seventh minute. They were awarded a free kick in the 25-meter area, after Oscar Ntshauba was brought down. Khuliso Phosiwa scored from the free kick with a volley. Revolution looked hopeless after United's opening goal. That gave United ample time to invade their opponents' territory.
Their effort did not pass without reward. They increased the tally in the 14th minute. Their bulldozer striker, Lufuno "CJ" Mugodi, headed home after a corner by Oscar Ntshauba.
As if they were leading, Revolution started to play defensive football. They conceded another goal towards the end of the first half. Thabiso Lekgau, who came on as a substitute for Masala Muedi in the 27th minute, made his presence felt when he headed home after a scramble within the box.
Ronewa Mulaudzi of Revolution was reprimanded with a card for dangerous play four minutes into the last half. He tackled Andani Nemalili from behind.
Revolution pulled one back in the 74th minute. Funanani Rakhomu finished off a square pass from Mpho Ratombo.
Although victory was almost certain, United did not stop fighting. They pressed hard in search of more goals. They scored the fourth in the 84th minute. Lufuno Mudau hooked the ball back into his own net while trying to clear, causing an own goal.
