Bucs surrender a lead

Orlando Pirates uncharacteristically and shockingly gave up a two goal lead on the last four minutes of the match against Bloemfontein Celtic in the Telkom knokout. It is usually the Bucs that dish up those moments but on Sunday they tasted yhe bitterness of theie own medicine.

The then defending champions were ahead at the interval by two goals to nil. Celtic reduced the deficit into half, before Pirates scored a goal two minutes later. Substitutions helped "'phunya selele" to be rejuvinated, scoring two quick goals in the added time. The Bucs went out to lose the match on penalty shootouts 5-3, thus losing their second title this season after failing to  successfuly defend the MTN 8 title.

Man Utd defeat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

The game lived up to the expectation of the football fans across the globe. It was hotly contested and full of controversy as both teams were fighting for the top positions in the EPL log. Man utd went ahead as early as the 4th minute through David Luiz's own goal. Eight minutes kater Robin Van Persie doubled the visitor's lead. The Dutch sensation scored a hatrick on his last visit to Stamford Bridge when he was still at Arsenal (Arsenal won 5-3). Chelsea fought back to equalise through Juan Mata and Ramires on either side of the interval. Manchester United's Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez showed the same brilliance he showed midweek when Man Utd played  against Portugal's Braga in the UEFA Champion's League as he slotted a goal in the 75th minute. The Red Devils are now in second place in the EPL, a point behind from The Blues who are currently in the summit of the log.

Let the games begin

The  battlefiled has been laid for the AFCON 2013 tournament in South Africa. On paper the hosts are in a relativey easy group and will be expected by many football pundits to come out of the group stages. Bafana will kick matters off with Cape Verde who will be making their first appearance at the African showpiece after eliminating Cmeroon(4time African champions). Angola-who qualified for the 206 World Cup in Germany and took part in the last three Afcon tourmanets and the formiddable Morroco. So the group is not as easy as many people think it is. Undoubtedly most South Africans are pleased that the team is not slotted in group D alongside: Cote d' Ivoire, Tunisia, Algeria and Togo. Cote d' Ivoire were the finalists of the 2006 Afcon edition and qualified for the World Cup the same year. Tunisia and Togo also participated in that welcome, whereas Algeria qualified for the 2010 World Cup edition alongside Cote d' Ivoire who surprisingly lost to Zambia in this year's Afcon which was staged jointly gABON and Equatorial Guinea

Man Utd have achieved 100% record so far in UEFA CL

Man Utd came back from behind to beat a spirited Braga outfit at Old Trafford. The Portuguese side found the back of the net with two minutes in the match courtesy of their captain Alan. The Brazilian scored his second goal of the match 18minutes later. The Red Devils crawled their way back to the game when Hernandez scored with a header 5mins after Alan completed his brace. Evans scored from Van Persie's free kick to level the scores. Hernandez finished off Braga with a terrible header from Tom Cleverly's cross from the right. Man Utd are now on top of their group with 9points out of the possible nine. Sir Alex Ferguson will be a very pleased man heading to Sunday's penultimate encounter against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is on top of the English Premiership log while Man utd is closely behind them on second place.

Poor cup run

Kaizer Chiefs are dubbed as cup specialists by South African supporters but this season the Glamour are yet to pass the first round of all cup competitions playes so far. They were eliminated by Mamelodi Sunsowns in the MTN8, Bucs in the pre-season Carling Black Label, MACUFE by Celtic and this past weekend they were beaten by Wits University in the Telkom Knockout. It's not all bad for the men in yellow as they are at the summit of the league log and will be playing a low ranked team in the form of Maritzburg United in Harry Gwala,PMB.
