The Kwatsaduza league games were played on March 31 in Duduza, and Black Starts won 5-4 against Tsakane Real Servants.
Duduza – The Kwatsaduza league games continued at Duduza ground one on recently. The intense game between Black Stars and Tsakane Real Servants had spectators on the edge of their seats with both teams struggling to score.
Neither teams scored in both halves which led the games to penalties and an end score of 5-4 for Black Stars. Their coach, Bheki Nkambule said the first half of the game was very difficult as their opponents are individuals with impressive soccer skills.
“They communicate well and know how to share the ball. That team does not just lose to any team. They play more soccer than we ever do. We rated the game in the beginning, observing how they play, how we can best tackle them and what to focus on mostly.
“In the second half we came back stronger, used our observations as winning strategies. But unfortunately could not score any goals until we got to the penalties,” said Nkambule.
Nkambule expressed gratitude citing that he did not think they would be able to win.
“Going forward we need to convert all the chances that we get and should not be afraid to commit. Approaching the net and utilising goal scoring opportunities will work in our advantage.
“We kept losing the ball when it was time to score a goal, just in front of the net. That has to stop,” he added.
The Tsakane Real Servants coach did not wish to comment. The league board member Sello Bottoman gave comment on his behalf.
“The team had a lot of confidence and undermined the other team as they have always been stronger than their opposition team.
“Tsakane Real Servants displayed a lot of courage and strength and projected their will to win. Things did not go as they had planned; they did not make a lot of mistakes. But their biggest mistake was focusing more on the referee and his mistakes rather than on the game.
“They blamed the referee for everything,” highlighted Bottoman.
