Katupose scores dramatic winner for Stars

Ronaldo Tsowaseb

A goal two minutes from time gave African Stars a dramatic 1-0 victory against Orlando Pirates at the Sam Nujoma Stadium on Saturday.

The match seemed to be heading for a draw when Stars won a freekick that Ronald Ketjijere blasted over the wall and over the goals.

Referee Rainhold Shikongo indicated that the ball had deflected off the wall and ordered a corner, from which Muna Katupose rose high to head the ball into the net.

SKW hold Black Africa to a draw

Joslin Kamutuka

SKW held log leaders Black Africa to a 2-2 draw in an entertaining match at the Sam Nujoma Stadium on Friday night.

In the end a draw was probably a fair result, although both teams had numerous chances to win the game.

All the goals came in a pulsating first half of frenetic action. Black Africa went on the attack first with Willy Stephanus and Marco van Wyk coming close early on.

But SKW took the lead against the run of play when a long throw in by Elvis Tjivisera was headed on and Joslin Kamutuka stabbed the loose ball into the far post.

Pirates, Stars promise all out attack

Stanley Kamesiepo

Orlando Pirates and African Stars meet in the Katutura derby at the Sam Nujoma Stadium on Saturday afternoon. For once, the outcome will not have much bearing on the title chase as both teams are way off the pace, but as usual a lot of needle and drama can be expected when these two Katutura giants meet.

Stars won their first round encounter 2-0 through goals by Tara Katupose and Rudi Louw and are currently fourth on the log, 11 points behind leaders Black Africa, while Pirates are way down in eighth position, a full 16 points behind Black Africa.
