Makhitha Oscar Stars beat Maebane Young Eagles 4-1 in their MMK Administrators league match at Makhitha on Sunday. Eagles were out of touch from the onset, and Stars opened their account in the 12th minute. Rofhiwa Mabila beat the offside trap and the lone keeper, Mahlatse Marakalala. Eagles continued to make silly mistakes within their own half. That gave Stars ample time to invade the territory of the Eagles. Stars’ keeper, Thanayani Netshipale, got injured when he collided with a striker of Eagles, Humbulani Managa. Etafia Ratombo then changed his postion and became the keeper for the rest of the match. The Eagles pulled one back in the 34th minute when Mulalo Thovhei converted a penalty. Stars continued to press hard in search of more goals after the Eagles’ goal, but their strikers were unlucky. Takalani Mbekwa caused a stir in the 39th minute. He received a good pass from MaanMpho Mathivha of Stars and Dakalo Masha attack the ball. da Malumedzha
