BA, Stars register wins
Namibia Premier League (NPL) defending champions African Stars and current log leaders Black Africa (BA) continued where they left off in the first leg of the premier league by collecting three points each on Friday night.
Round two of the 2018/19 MTC NPL season kicked off at the Sam Nujoma Stadium with BA thrashing Rundu-based outfit Julinho Sporting 5-0.
BA, who is currently in the driving seat, opened the scoring as early as the sixth minute through their new signing Donald Gaiseb. Derl Goagoseb netted in their second goal in the 19th minute, before Lucky Heita and Wendell Rudath scored in the 24th and 45th minutes respectively.
The halftime score was 4-0 in favour of the home team.
In the second half a hapless Julinho Sporting still couldn't contain Black Africa, who took just 17 minutes to score their fifth when Emilio Martin found himself unmarked in the box and headed in a corner from Rudath.
With the win BA maintain the seven-point lead at the top of the log standings. They are now on 38 points, while their closest rivals African Stars are on 31 points.
Stars, who played earlier at the Sam Nujoma Stadium on Friday night, battled it out with Otjiwarongo-based Life Fighters. Stars opened the scoring in the first half but Life Fighters' fighting spirit paid off on the night as they equalised later in the game. As the game headed for a draw, Stars managed to find a winning goal in the closing minutes of the match. In other matches played elsewhere on Friday night, Unam beat Mighty Gunners 2-1 in Otjiwarongo, while Eleven Arrows thrashed Civics 5-0 in Walvis Bay.
Karasburg-based Young Brazilians managed to collect a point in Walvis Bay after their 3-3 draw against Blue Waters. Eleven Arrows managed to win their match against Civics 5-0, while Mighty Gunners went down 1-2 to Unam. On Saturday Orlando Pirates managed to draw against 1-1 with Tura Magic, while Tigers and Okahandja United played to a 0-0 draw.
