The Germiston Sports Club hosted South African Football Association (SAFA) Ekurhuleni\u2019s Super League play-offs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the promotional play-offs where we look to promote teams to the SAFA SAB Regional League,\u201d said the regional executive officer at SAFA Ekurhuleni, Job Mchunu.<\/p>

\u201cThe winners from 13 associations meet in the tournament and compete in round-robin matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur semi-finals were held on Saturday, and on Sunday we held the final match between Valentino Football Club and Dream Team FC.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cBoth teams have been promoted to the regional league due to their performances throughout the tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey just had to play against each other for formalities and to crown a winner of the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n

The match between the two top teams was a rather interesting one.<\/p>\n

It was evident that both teams are skilled, with Valentino heavy on attack, triggering Dream\u2019s robust defence.<\/p>\n

It was no surprise when Valentino\u2019s Ndambe Zitha netted their first goal.<\/p>\n

Ball possession remained with Valentino throughout the match.<\/p>\n

Dream retaliated with a goal just before half-time.<\/p>\n

Valentino extended their lead in the second half, with two more goals from Makai Mokoena and Mfanzile Mabuza, respectively.<\/p>\n

Dream\u2019s robust defence was no match for Valentino\u2019s attack, which saw the match end in a 3-1 score.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boys played very well and made us proud the entire tournament,\u201d said Valentino FC\u2019s assistant coach, Kgomotso Maja.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are only looking to take the success over to the new league to which we have been promoted.\u201d<\/p>\n
