The first lag of the first semi-final come with surprises

Six goals scored on the first lag of the first semi-final of WAFA WAFA

An amazing semi-final between two longstanding PLS teams, Mamelodi Sundowns and Moroka Swallows that took place at Lucas Maripe Stadium last night.

Sundowns started the game dominating, winning most balls in the midfield and attacking from both sides. However, that did not stop Swallows to score two goals within eight minutes of the first half.

Swallows scored their first goal from Obada on a count-attack by the first five minutes. Few minutes afterward, Hendricks scored the second goal from a corner.

The Brazilians got a penalty on the fourteen minutes of the game after Kekana tried to cross ball but hit Lekgothene’s hand. Etafia saved the first penalty from Modise but the line man said it must be a retake. Teko did not made a mistake and convert it into a goal to make the score line 2-1.

The speeds of the game stated to be slow after Swallows set at the back and play it simple, while downs did not want to commit the same mistake try to re-organise from the back.

From the first minute of second half all team wanted nothing but a goal but their efforts earn them nothing, because both teams were organised at the back.  

Few minutes later, The Brazilians put much pressure on The Dube Birds and kept control of the game like they did on the first half.That made the Soweto based club to make a slip up mistake that saw Kekana scoring a well composed goal to equalise.

However, The Dube Birds came on top again by Chenene’s goal a gifted Chabangu’s right foot. That goal bring Swallows back into the game, but Manqele toke them back to square  one by scoring a wonderful goal from a close range, just six minutes before the final whistle.

Thamsanqa Sangwen dined his team to be the winner on the day by missing an obvious chance on the last seconds of the game.
