Civics beat Arrows
Submitted by editor on Sat, 05/23/2009 - 21:32.Civics kept their title hopes alive after beating Eleven Arrows 1-0 at Windhoek’s Independence Stadium on Saturday night. Floris Diergaardt scored the winning goal midway through the second half when he headed home a pinpoint cross by Sedekia Haukambe.
Chances were few and far between in a rather dull first half. Civics defender Erastus Ndjavera had a cracking 30m shot punched clear by Arrows keeper Virgil Vries, while striker Floris Diergaardt also came close with a 20m strike that flew past the upright.
