Late goal leads Stars to victory

Silver Stars moved up to seventh spot of the Castle Premier Soccer League log on Wednesday afternoon courtesy of a late strike from Dingane Masanabo.

His goal in the 82nd minute gave the home team a 1-0 victory over Ajax Cape Town at the Seshego Stadium.

A number of opportunities were missed by both teams, and the match appeared to heading for an inevitable draw until December Ngobeni, who was guilty of missing a number of chances himself, passed to Masanabo, who steered the ball past the Ajax goalkeeper.

Ajax themselves could have edged ahead just eight minutes earlier but Nathan Paulse’s kick was cleared just short of the goal line by a defender.

The loss places Ajax in ninth place on the log. — Sapa
