Africa-Press – Namibia. GIRLS & Goals and Beauties Football Club took the lead in the FNB Women’s Super League after both collected maximum points over the weekend.
After pulling off a 1-0 upset win against powerhouse Khomas Nampol 1-0 last weekend, Girls & Goals continued where they left off with successive victories against the visiting Arrows Ladies and Namib Daughters at the NFA Technical Centre.
On Saturday, they received stiff opposition from Arrows Ladies, before running out 3-1 winners, while they eased to a 5-1 victory against Namib Daughters yesterday, after leading 4-0 at halftime.
Against Namib Daughters, Tjamunene Ndjavera gave Girls & Goals the lead from the penalty spot midway through the first half, while three goals in quick succession by Beverly Uueziua, Beyonce Cloete, and Ndjavera’s second put them 4-0 ahead at the half time break.
Ndjavera completed her hat-trick midway through the second half, before Moriza Gawanas added a late consolation goal for Namib Daughters.
Beauties Football Club, meanwhile, joined them as the only other team with three wins from three matches after they collected maximum points against Nust Babes and V Power Angels.
On Saturday, they beat Nust Babes 3-1, after leading 2-1 at half time.
Beauties went 2-0 ahead after goals by Elwida Damases and Nizla Zaondja, but Kahutu Ngivitjita pulled a goal back for Nust Babes on the stroke of halftime.
Beauties, however, secured the win after Damases scored her second goal midway through the second half.
Yesterday, Beauties beat the previously undefeated V Power Angels 2-1 in a heated match, with the former Angels striker Fiola Vliete scoring both goals against her former club.
Vliete opened the scoring shortly before halftime and then added a second with a great corner kick. Anna Ida Somses opened the Angels’ account, but they could not get the equaliser in a tense final quarter, which also saw the Angels’ coach red-carded by the referee.
V Power Angels, however, remain among the early pace-setters after thrashing Okahandja FC 7-1 on Saturday.
Nancy Lebang and Anna Ida Somses each scored a brace, and Debora Vries, Uno Kaetjavi and Martha Shonena one goal each for the Angels, while Leena Alweendo scored Okahandja’s solitary goal.
Unam Bokkies, meanwhile, get their campaign off to a good start after beating Ramblers 5-1 on Saturday, and Ongwediva Queens 3-0 yesterday.
Against Ramblers, Taotago Afrikaner opened the scoring when she pounced onto a misguided pass to score from close range, while the impressive Hanavi Muhinatjo made it 2-0 with a great header just before halftime.
Further goals by Afrikaner and Vekendisa Ujaha put Bokkies 4-0 up before Gwenneth Narises opened Ramblers’ account from a free-kick on 82 minutes.
Unam, however, had the final say when substitute Pia Rottiger scored from a quick strike from the restart to hand them a commanding win.
Following yesterday’s 3-0 win against Ongwediva, Unam Bokkies have now moved up to fourth position on the log on six points, behind V Power Angels on goal difference.
After losing their opening match 3-1 to Girls & Goals last weekend, Khomas Nampol got their campaign back on track with a resounding 5-2 victory against Namib Daughters on Saturday.
Helena Shuumbwa gave Nampol an early lead, but Moriza Gawanas soon equalised for Namib Daughters. That’s the closest they got though, as Nampol gradually pulled away.
Faustina Amutenya restored their lead while Shuumbwa added her second to give them a 3-1 lead at the halftime break.
Shuumbwa added two more goals in the second half for an impressive match haul of four goals, before Sanna Swartbooi scored a late consolation goal for Namib Daughters to make the final score 5-2 in Khomas Nampol’s favour.
