Omusati Region makes it three
A brace from Willem Elia and a goal each from Timotheus Petrus and Shiimi Matheus ensured a 4-2 victory for Omusati over Erongo in the final of the 2017 Skorpion Zinc under-17 Cup at the Sam Nujoma Stadium yesterday afternoon.
The champions wasted no time as they got their first goal at two minutes through Timotheus Petrus and Erongo tried to get back into it through Steven Damaseb but his goal was disallowed for offside. The Erongo boys finally got the equaliserer through Dario Gorases at 13 minutes to draw the game level.
Omusati then went on the offensive again and a moment of madness from an Erongo defender who handled the ball assuming the whistle had gone for offside led to a penalty for Omusati. Willem Elia slotted home to make it 2-1 at 25 minutes and it was then 3-1 as Elia scored his second goal a minute later.
In the second half, Erongo brought on Leighton McCalty who needed only three minutes to reduce the deficit to 3-2 with a well-taken goal.
Omusati then regained their composure and made it 4-2 at 55 minutes through Shiimi Matheus, a lead that they held on until the end. Erongo were missing their star man Prince Tjiueza who missed the game due to injury from the semifinal. Willem Elia from Omusati won the Man of the Match award.
In the battle for third place, Kavango West and East met and it was Kavango West that ran riot as they scored four goals to take third place. Pontanius Shikanga opened the scoring and that was followed by a strike by Victor Nependa. Alfons Newakka made it 3-0 and it was later 4-0 through Oskar Kambanzera. Kavango West's player Petrus Kaveto won the Man of the Match accolade.
Erongo's Prince Tjiueza won the Player of the Tournament award and Kavango East walked away with the Fair Play award. Omusati's Aron Nghitengeluwa won the Goalkeeper of the Tournament award and teammate Elia Willem won the Top Goal Scorer award with eight goals, as 98 goals were scored during the three-day teen tournament. Petrus Amutenya walked away with the Official of the Tournament Award.
