SOCCER: Union hit Boksburg for 6!
Boksburg Football Club ELFA Super League rivals Union scored three goals in either half for a 6-0 win over the local side.
The lopsided fixture took place at the Boksburg City Stadium on Saturday, July 23.
The visitors had the all but won the game in the first-half with their three goals and a bevy of missed chances which could have seen the scoreboard reading worse for the Blues.
It was all Union from the start and it did not take long until their superiority was apparent as they gave themselves an early cushion with two goals.
The visitors kept up the pressure and should have extended their lead halfway through the first stanza as they hit the same upright in a space of five minutes.
The wave of attack continued and the visitors grabbed their third just moments after hitting the upright.
Boksburg looked most dangerous whenever forward Ndumiso Selepe was in possession on the right flank. The skilful attacker produced a neat run down the right which culminated in Kagisano Seforo being presented with a good chance to register his side on the scoreboard but he shot his effort straight into the goalkeeper’s hands.
Union were having a field day down Boksburg’s left flank and an attack from that very side from a recycled ball from their ‘keeper resulted in a corner.
Blues fullback Alex (surname) made a vital interception as he deflected a rebound shot on to the crossbar from the resulting corner.
With the half nearing its end, the Blues created an eye-catching build-up as they enjoyed a rare spell of possession.
No 2 found himself in space in front of goal moments later but also shot straight to the ‘keeper from a tight angle.
The game’s pattern continued into the second and the visitors added three more goals for the handsome win. – @SabeloBoksburg
