New Era

WINDHOEK - Cymot Sport Klub Windhoek (SKW) shot to the top of the lucrative MTC Namibia Premiership and remain the only team in the 12-team league with a 100% record after two rounds of matches.
The Germans shook off some resistance from league rookies Hotspurs to confirm their title credentials with a fine 2-Nil victory over the Sowetons at the SKW Stadium on Friday night.

Elsewhere, African Stars maintained their good start to their league campaign this season when Browers Litanga-Litombo's late goal gifted the Bobby Samaria inspired outfit a hard fought 3-2 win over luckless Chief Santos at a packed to rafters Khomasdal Stadium on Saturday.

Stars surrendered a two goal lead midway through the second half and were given a real scare as the Copper Town Boys exposed their shaky rearguard to the maximum and came within a whisker of a dramatic comeback with two quick goals - only for the habitual wasteful Congolese striker to spoil the party.

Across town, Black Africa scored a goal on either side of play to dispatch struggling Oshikandela Ramblers and condemned the wealthy Pionierspark based outfit to their second successive league defeat.

Despite playing at home and enjoying the lion's share of ball possession - the Tunchel Street Boys looked totally out of depth and unless management roll up their sleeves and arrest the current slump, the ambitious club could be a sure bet for relegation candidates come end of the season.

Following last weekend's lukewarm showing in their opening match against overnight log leaders SKW - Tigers redeemed themselves as the Donkerhoek outfit recorded a well deserved 3-1 away win over giant killers Lawsure NDF Mighty Gunners at the notorious Mokati Stadium in Otjiwarongo on Saturday.

Elsewhere, Civics kept their impressive away record intact after the Khomasdal based outfit saw off a stubborn Oshakati City 1-Nil at the Independence Stadium in Oshakati.

Hotshot Orlando Pirates' fairytale run came to a premature halt when the mighty Buccaneers were held to an uninspiring goalless draw by early-pacesetters Eleven Arrows at the Khomasdal Stadium on Saturday evening.
The visitors showed very little respect to their more fancied opponents and were the better side throughout the match and could have returned to the coast with maximum points had lady luck not turned her cheek on Gilbert Rwasoka's maroon and gold outfit.

Lawsure NDF Mighty Gunners, Oshi-kandela Ramblers and Chief Santos are rooted to the basement of the MTC Namibia Premier League following a winless streak after round two while SKW, Stars, Black Africa, Pirates and Arrows remain the only unbeaten teams in the campaign so far.
