Madrid edge out Man City

In the ultimate clash of champions in UEFA Champioons's League group D Spanish giants Real Madrid defeated a resilient and spirited big spending Manchester City of England. The game started slowly but the second half goal by Dzeko which was set up by Yaya Toure gave a bit of life to the game and inspired the hosts to attack. Real Madrid scored an equaliser courtesy of the Brazilian international Marcelo-as his strike deflected on the chest of a former Real Madrid player, Xavi Garcia. Shortly the visitors regained the lead through a well taken free kick by Aleksander Kolarov. Two minutes later Karim Benzema scored Reals' second goal of the night. It took a special shot from Cristiano Ronaldo in the 89th minute to seal off a victory for the under pressure Spanish champs after their poor start to to the season. It was the Portuguese's 151st goal in 150 appearances for los blancos....a goal he celebrated after he famously claimed that he was "sad" at the club. One will say that the Englishmen went down because of inexperience in Europe's elite club competition as they failed to secure a lead twice or show the same attacking prowess they display week in week out at the English Premier League.

Chiefs lead washed out by the rain

Kaizer Chiefs' was on the suffering side after a match was called off due to heavy rain.

Black Leopards will show avoid to slip up once more.

Bafana convicingly beat Mozambique

South Africa got the elusive victory against their north east neighbours Mozambique. Bafana scored two goals courtesy of Kaizer Chiefs' Barnard Parker in the 7th and 88th minute to seal off a much needed win by 2013 AFCON hosts. This was Gordon Igesund's first win in charge following the team's loss against Brazil over the weekend(his debut).

Bafana lose to Brazil

Bafana lost one nil to the Sanba boys of Brazil in Soa Paulo. The Brazilian national team was booed off the field  at the interval and at the end of the match by the home fans following a lacklustre display. Neymar was called "a popicaro" a popcorn and the fans labelled him as "not brave" as the Santos man failed to show the same goal scoring exploits he displays at club level that saw him score 15 goals in 14 encounters.

The South Africans were applauded by the Brazilian fans as they showed resistance against a star studded Brazilian outfit. Hulk scored the onl  goal  ofthe match. Itumeleng Khune was the star of the show as he denied Brazil goals through spectacular and brave saves. Bafana will play their neighbours Mozambique in an international friendly tomorrow in Maputo.

Paralypmic gold for SA men'srelay team

The South African Paralympic's mens's relay team won a gold in the 4x100m. The team comprised of four runners, Samkelo Radebe, Zivan Smith, Arnaud and Oscar Pistorius. The most electrifying moment of the race came when Pistorius was competing for no.1 finish with a Brazilian in what seemed like would be a repeat of his previous race with a Brazilian, which he lost. History would not repeat itself this time as the South African blade runner reached the finish line at 41.78, with the South African men's relay team aetting a new paralympic world record.

Benni called to the national team

At the at age of 34 Bennedict McCarthy of Orlando Pirates has been called to the national team for international friendlies against Brazil and Mozambique. The injury on Siyabonga Nomvete has left Gordon with no choice but to call back the Bafana's all time leading goal score to the squad. Benni has shown the same sparke that saw him become the first South African to score four goals on international duty, win the UEFA Champions League and multiple European league and and cup trophies in SA. Upon his return to South Africa he has won a treble with the Bucs and two CArling Cup trophies as well as individual awards.

Descipline seems to be the only factor lacking to the coveted South African footballer as he is currently serving a two-match red card ban  for an off the ball alteration with Supersport United's Franklin Cale.

Van Persie saves Man Utd's day

Robin Van Persie scored a hatrick against Southampton at St Mary's to help the 20-time EPL champions secure three points. The performance of the Red Devils was dire as their midfield was dominated by Southamptons'. It is for the second time that the Saints have gave up on a lead in three matches this season.

The hosts would be kicking themselves for allowing the Dutchman to score two goals in the last three minutes of the match. The new Manchester United signing has scored four goals in three matches, all goals coming in the last two matches.
