League Play-Off

Stadium Dalibba
Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Legako Mbheki took the kick off in the first half of the match. Mabusela Tembe received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. Tomas Dinha tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 5th minute, Soloman King left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Enyanisweni fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Soloman King took the ball and in the 8 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Tomas Dinha. Tomas Dinha dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. Mabusela Tembe received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. Tomas Dinha tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Soloman King's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Tomas Dinha was relentless in the 20th minute of the game. Lazarus Inguana showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Legako Mbheki, who was totally free with the ball in the 23rd minute. In the 24th minute Legako Mbheki shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lazarus Inguana saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 35 played minutes, Enyanisweni's Themba Mbheki shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Tomas Dinha came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Enyanisweni reached it. After having played for 36 minutes, Soloman King managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Enyanisweni's supporters crossed their fingers, but Soloman King was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Tomas Dinha made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mabusela Tembe in the 40th minute of play. In the 41stth minute of the game Soloman King who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Dalibba's Tomas Dinha was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Soloman King to strike the kick off in the second half. Mabusela Tembe struck a weak shot in the 53rd minute. Tomas Dinha didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Enyanisweni. Milton Makweni's late challenge caught a Enyanisweni's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Milton Makweni helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Dalibba's Milton Makweni got a free kick in the 54th minute. Tomas Dinha showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Soloman King, who was totally free with the ball in the 55th minute. If Mabusela Tembe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tomas Dinha was a little too slow when Soloman King got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 58th minute. The score was now 0-3. In the 62nd match minute, Enyanisweni was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Themba Mbheki to maneuver through the defense. If Milton King had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mabusela Tembe could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 70th minute of the match, but Tomas Dinha made a huge save. 71 minutes into the match, Dalibba's goal looked a bit too open when Soloman King came free, but Tomas Dinha reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 83rd minute, Mabusela Tembe got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 88th play minute Mabusela Tembe came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Tomas Dinha. 0-4. Mpenza Okpara charged in rather forcefully in the 91st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Mpenza Okpara the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 91 played minutes Enyanisweni got a freekick which was hit by Mpenza Okpara. When Mpenza Okpara came up free with the goalie in the 94th minute, the Enyanisweni fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Mpenza Okpara couldn't finish the play.
