Bloemfontein - Ajax Cape Town produced a thoroughly professional performance as they thumped Bloemfontein Celtic 3-0 in their Premiership encounter at the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium on Saturday.
Goals from forwards Prince Nxumalo,Thabo Mosadi and
midfielder Ndiviwe Mdabuka handed the visitors a resounding victory over the
men from Bloemfontein.
The Capetonians started on the front foot, as they had an
attempt on goal in the 11th minute. Mosa Lebusa's cross found Nxumalo in the
box, but the striker's effort hit the side netting.
In the 20th minute, Ajax eventually made their possession
count when Mdabuka rose highest to head home and give his team a deserved 1-0
advantage.
It remained that way until the break and five minutes after
the restart, Siwelele had a golden opportunity to equalise.
Mthokozisi Dube was brought down in the box by an untidy
tackle from Mark Mayambela but Musa Nyatama failed to convert the resulting
spot-kick - striking a low shot onto the right side post, of an outstretched
Jody February.
The Urban Warriors doubled their advantage in the 67th
minute when Mosadi went on a mazy run before finding Nxumalo in the area, who
slotted the ball past Patrick Tignyemb.
Three minutes from time Stanley Menzo's men killed off the game as the lively Mosadi broke through the defence with pace and scored with a smart dinked finish, over the onrushing Tignyemb.
