United Brothers too strong for Stars

Muraleni United Brothers scored a 2-0 victory over the much-feared Madombidzha Western Stars in their MMK Administrators Stream E league match at Muraleni on Sunday.

Brothers’ coach, Mr Daykie Maringa, was full of praise for his players. “Finally, we got it right. I think credit must go the players because they fought back hard. We conceded four goals in the first round against United and this was sweet revenge,” said Maringa.

Brothers, much to the surprise of everyone, came out a different animal after the break to secure an impressive victory. “We needed to focus if you play teams like Stars. We played good short passes through the middle, and I told them if we can use that more we will score, so we came back and scored to win the game,” he said.

Western Stars’ coach, Mr Jack Matshavha, said that no need existed for panic at this stage. “We knew that we were going to lose at some point. I will only be worried if my players are not fighting,” he told Limpopo Mirror.

Matshavha refused to get drawn into a debate about referees. “I only talk about my players and our performance. I believe in the second half we performed well, but in the first half we were nowhere to be seen,” he said.

Both United Brothers’ goals were scored by Shumani Mudau.
