Royal Leopard.................................. (1)7
Royal Swallows................................ (0)0
SOCCER- POLICE side Royal Leopard trashed minnows Masundwini Royal Swallows 7-0 to cruise to the last 16 of the Ingwenyama Cup.
The blue and white outfit started the match played at the Mavuso Sports Centre yesterday on a rather low note, as Swallows matched them pound for pound in the opening stages.
The Edwin Matsebula charges were however patient and eventually broke the deadlock in the 21st minute through Sifiso Matse who blasted the ball home from a goal-mouth scramble.
Masundwini tried to snatch an equaliser, but Samkelo Mndzebele took his own sweet time in front of goal and Leopard recovered well, thus the chance went bagging. The match went to recess with the police side leading by the solitary strike.
After the break, Leopard came back as a changed side and they made their presence felt from the on-set. Ten minutes into the stanza, Muzi Mzoro Dlamini doubled the lead, finishing off a fine pass from Fanelo Tsabedze.
The police side then went berserk and tormented the minnows, who seemed to have lost their cool and sense of thinking, making silly mistakes at the back, allowing Mzoro and Sifiso to claim their braces for the third and forth respectively. Substitute Barry Steenkamp and Bonginkhosi Manyovu Dlamini scored the fifth and sixth respectively before Fanelo Tsabedze buried the seventh to send Royal Leopard to the last 16 in style.
