Jomo Cosmos added to the woes of Tembisa Classic when they beat them 2-1 in a Castle Premier League soccer match clash played at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday night. The visitors led 1-0 at the interval.
Cosmos’ goals were scored by Christopher Katongo and Bhamuza Sono while Classic benefited from an own goal by Tapelo Tshilo.
Katongo scored the opening goal in the 24th minute, capitalising on an error from Craig Bianchi who failed to clear a loose ball.
Classic mentor Mlungisi ”Professor” Ngubane brought on James Mothibi for Dikgang Mabalane at the beginning of the second half. The move proved fruitful as Mothini combined well with Collen Zimba and Luntu Mazana, creating a number of chances.
Nevertheless it was Cosmos who scored the second goal which came in the 71st minute. Sono received a cross from Katongo who had latched onto a long ball from Cosmos keeper Walter Khumalo.
The home side kept fighting hard and were rewarded by the opposition when Tshilo conceded an own goal while he was trying to clear a corner kick from Graham Kingo.
Classic are now floundering in second-last place on the log – Sapa
