TOP TEAMS LIKE MOSQUITOES IN A NUDIST CAMP

My dearest readers ... Hammering goals home is the essence of the game; how they are scored is the soul of soccer and how they are celebrated is the culture of the game of the billions.

The opening round (last 32) of the second edition of the three-year richly sponsored Ingwenyama Cup by Sincephetelo MVA Fund to the tune of E3 million a season, had all these attributes and more.

Since the tournament kicked off last Friday, it has been yet another exhibition of elegant football, glut of goals, resilience, superb saves and rotten luck. If National First Division log leaders, Matsapha United’s annihilation of Luyengo Foxes 5-0 was spell-bounding, no-one has to blame Ubombo Flyers players for refusing to buy a half-dozen eggs these days after Young Buffaloes put them to the sword 6-0 with winger Sifiso ‘General’ Mazibuko shooting to the top scorer’s chart after netting four goals.

 On Saturday, it rained even more goals as Green Mamba flummoxed Black Aces until they were pitch black with a 7-0 trashing while Moneni Pirates’ sharp shooter, Mfanufikile Ndzimandze, a close contender for the Player of the Month for November, continued his rich vein of scoring form by grabbing a hat-trick in the on-form Moneni Buccaneers 7-2 drubbing of listless Milling Hotspurs who were as ice-cold as a mortuary.
Their name was clearly a misnomer.

Tambuti FC might be having a prolonged dance with demotion but they were too good for fervently supported First Division outfit, Amalanda, who they trashed 4-1. Former Premier League outfit, Malanti Chiefs sent Hlathikulu Tycoons packing with a 4-0 drubbing while last season’s tournament runner-up Royal Leopard had to dig deeper into reserves of courage to beat tough-as-teak Manchester United in Pigg’s Peak.
