Tsakani – An exceptional clash between the masters’ teams, the Black Stars and the Red Nation, thrilled fans on December 7.
The game at the Bohman Ground was nothing short of entertainment. Red Nation battled fiercely, but poor communication and missed attacking opportunities prevented them from winning. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving both teams with things to improve on.
Red Nation coach Bonile ‘Ninja’ Metula shared his thoughts after the match, saying they did not produce the best of their ability.
“Our main issue is that we did not attack enough and lacked communication,” he explained.
Despite the challenges, Metula praised the team’s resilience and adaptability, saying they involved other players to boost their ability.

“This gave us a chance to move forward. During halftime, we made it a mandate that we go into the second half with full force, not to concede, but to score. We created several chances but could not convert them into goals,” he said.
Metula is optimistic about his team’s growth, saying they will rectify their mistakes in the next season by putting in more effort.
“We created opportunities and showed determination. The draw is a learning point, and we will build on this,” he said.
He also said they would do their best in the upcoming master’s tournament. Metula is happy with how the game ended. The Black Stars’ coach could not be reached for comment.
