THURSDAY, 12.30PM:
TWO goals by Bafana Bafana midfielder Clinton Larsen and one by striker Simon Makhubela helped Manning Rangers maintain their unbeaten record this season. Rangers beat Orlando Pirates 3-2 in their Premier Soccer League match played in front of 25 000 spectators at Chatsworth Stadium in Durban on Wednesday.
Larsen opened the score for the home side only in the second minute. Pirates came back strongly in the second half and their efforts were rewarded when Dumisa Ngobe equalised in the 75th minute. Rangers scored again in the 83rd minute through Makhubela and four minutes later Larsen completed his brace. Bruce Ramokadi then made a solo run from centre line and fired a shot past Rangers goalkeeper Grant Johnson to score Pirates second goal.
A 10-man Jomo Cosmos held Vaal Professionals to a 0-0 draw in a PSL match at Iscor Stadium at KwaMasiza on Wednesday night. Cosmos’s hard-tackling midfielder Samkelo Jam Jam was given his marching orders by referee Israel Mnguni after a second bookable offence.
