Madombidzha Try Again surprise Breakers

By Kaizer Nengovhela Madombidzha Try Again

surprised Tshikhwani Stone Breakers by beating them 2-1 in their Safa Vhembe SAB league match played at

Madombidzha grounds on Sunday.

Breakers took the game to Try Again in the first 20 minutes, but their speedy forward, Livhuwani Masindi, let them down by shooting aimlessly at the goal. The team tried to rectify their mistakes soon afterwards. Their diminutive kingpin, Mandla Tshabalala, beat the offside trap but lost possession with keeper Vuwani Galedzana at his mercy. The only time that Try Again came close to scoring was when Mulalo Davhana broke loose from the left flank and shot wide from close range. At that stage, the game was 30 minutes old. Breakers abandoned their positions and packed themselves at the far back.

Tumi Mpfupa of Try

Again scored the first goal of the match. He unleashed a powerful shot from outside the box and beat the keeper easily.

Their celebrations were cut short when Breakers equalised through Mandla Tshabalala after he finished off a square pass from Luvhengo Mauluma to make the half-time score 1-1.

Breakers approached the second half like a house on fire, with their midfielders distributing some telling passes to the strikers. They threatened to score in the early minutes of the second half. Emmanuel Mphephu forced his way through the defence before passing the ball to Thwalima Ramashidzha, who shot straight into the keeper’s hands.

In the last 20 minutes of the game, Try Again took control but had to wait until the 70th minute before Hulisani Mbodi’s shot found the back of the net.
