The Maritzburg College \u2018A\u2019 moved the ball comfortably and took full advantage of the early lead in the first ten minutes of the game through a goal by Thando Hlope, who had a fantastic game, putting in a stellar performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cool, calm and collected on the backline, Hlophe opened the net for Maritzburg College \u2018A\u2019 after a well-taken, beautiful corner kick. Newtown High School struggled heavily on set pieces, and that set them back as the opposition capitalised on that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malachi Momple scored a cracker outside the box, making it two goals to nil in favour of Maritzburg College as they went into the second half leading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coming into the second half of the game, Maritzburg College continued to put in a good performance despite Newtown High School challenging and searching for that opening goal. Their opposition proved to be too difficult to beat on the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mazithi Qasha and Philasande Khuzwayo scored the last two goals of the game, putting an end to the game. Khuzwayo\u2019s goal summed up a performance that was put by his side as they easily broke through the defence of Newtown High School by playing simple touches and passing the ball to the team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maritzburg College took all three points in the afternoon, and their next game for the league is on the 11<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of May, where they will face Linpark at Barns.
