Mulima hammer Shining Stars

Mulima FC were too good for Mashamba Shining Stars and brutally hammered them 4-1 in the quarterfinals of the Masungulo Youth Challenge at Mashamba on Sunday.

Stars were out of touch from the onset and Mulima opened their account in the ninth minute. Bornwise Malobo scored with a beautiful shot.

Stars continued to make silly mistakes within their own half. That gave Mulima ample time to invade the territory of Stars. In the 24^th minute, Thabelo Tshikweta was on target after receiving a neat pass from Awelani Ravuku.

The Stars pulled one back in the 34^th minute. Livhuwani Tsibi beat the Stars keeper, Dakalo Mulaudzi, with a ground cutter after a scramble within the box. Tshifhiwa Siphugu caused a stir in the 39^th minute. He received a good pass from Mashudu Muliwa and shot wide from close range. At that stage, Mulima’s keeper, Faith Ratombo, was already beaten.

The referee flashed the only yellow card in the game three minutes into the second half. Laymond Muleya of Mulima was reprimanded for obstructing his opponent.

Stars lost shape in the middle of the park and they were severely punished for that. In the 64^th minute, Mulima scored their third goal. Bornwise Malobo was on target after receiving a neat pass from Takalani Mbekwa.

Stars created numerous chances late in the game and managed to convert one, their fourth goal, via Madilonga Mukwevho.
