THE soccer teams in the Safa Boland Super League had another busy weekend as they battled for log positions in this year’s season.
On Saturday FC LM finished off Green Hills with a 2-0 victory while FC Athletico maintained their good form, beating Mountain Sweepers 2-0.
Young Africans FC from Mbekweni escaped with a close 2-1 win over Sparkling Stars while Glenview Aces got the better of Young Stars, winning the game 2-0.
In other matches Eleven Ideas beat Vivendi Strikers 2-0, African Jaguars beat Eleven Experience 2-0, and Paarl Pirates drew 3-3 with Swallows.
The game between Paarl Soccer Club and Franschhoek United ended in a 1-1 draw.
When Young Africans clashed with Vivendi Strikers in Mbekweni on Sunday, the home team had the better of their opponents from the start.
Vivendi Strikers had countless opportunities to put themselves ahead, but poor inter-play and misdirected shots at goal left them high and dry.
Even though Young Africans’ keeper, Bongani Mncinjana, was red-carded late in the second half, the Strikers could not take advantage of the situation and subsequently lost the game 4-2.
