MARITZBURG BACK TO WINNING WAYS WITH A BANG
26 August 2014
Maritzburg United were 3-0 winners over Chippa United in an Absa Premiership game played at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Tuesday night.
Maritzburg created some early chances as Ashley Hartog got on the end of a Thamsanqa Mkhize cross, but his header went just over the bar, while Mkhize had his 12th minute shot saved by Chippa keeper Fatau Dauda.
The opening goal came after 20 minutes and was scored my Team of Choice debutant Mohammed Anas, the Ghanaian heading home a good cross from Zimbabwean defender Khumbulani Banda.
Chippa came close to equalising, but David Zulu saw his shot smashing into the woodwork.
Maritzburg had to face a Chippa onslaught for most of the remainder of the second half, but were two goals up five minutes after the break when Anas put Nhalanhla Vilakazi through on goal to score with a superbly-taken effort.
The victory was sealed in the 85th minute when Sheldon van Wyk netted the Team of Choice’s third goal, the win sending United up to fourth spot on the Absa Premiership table.
