Madridtas crush Mikhado in Vhembe derby

Although they signed several experienced players last week, Mikhado FC continued to donate points to the other Vhembe-based side, Madridtas FC, in their ABC Motsepe League match at the Rabali Stadium on Saturday. Madridtas won the match 3-2.

Mikhado acquired the services of the former Bafana Bafana striker, Lerato Chabangu, former Black Leopards midfielder Christopher “Matari” Netshidzivhe and the former Dynamos keeper, Amon Phophi, in a bid to beef-up their ailing squad.

Pfunzo “Shavy” scored a brace for Madridtas, while the third one came via Rudzani “Dzoba” Thobo.

Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) were pushed deeper into the relegation quagmire by Great North FC, who beat them 2-0 at the Tshifulanani Stadium. Freddy Nkoana scored the visitors' opening goal in the 24^th minute. George Kgare was on target later in the game. TTM are now languishing at the bottom of the log. They have accumulated only one point from six matches.

Baroka FC deposited full points into their league account, following their 1-0 victory over Giyani Hotspurs at the Ngoana Mahube Stadium in Polokwane.

Ndengeza FC consolidated their position at the top of the table by beating Polokwane United 2-1 at the Giyani Stadium on Saturday. Ben Ngobeni and Eric Mabasa scored for Ndengeza FC, while Polokwane’s solitary goal came via Norman Seopela towards the end of the game.

The Dolphins FC continued to pave their way up when they beat Magezi FC 1-0 at the TT Cholo Stadium.

Joe Maweja moved a step up on the log after beating Boyne Young Tigers 2-1 at the Tshifudi Stadium on Sunday. Maweja were leading 2-0 at half time. Lesiba Thaba scored the opening goal for Maweja and Takalani Mashila scored the second towards the end of the first half. Chris Malepe scored the visitors’ solitary goal in the dying minutes of the game.
