The Eastern Local Football Association\u2019s (ELFA) Super League is heating up and Luso Africa FC is giving it their all.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, May 25, the club\u2019s senior teams travelled to Balfour to face Highlands Park Football Club.<\/p>
Despite Luso\u2019s first team going down 1-0 early in the match, due to some poor communication between the goalkeeper and defenders, Luso took charge of the game and produced a dominant display.<\/p>\n
Fulvio Pereira scored the first goal for the team with a fine strike, which the Highlands goalkeeper just couldn\u2019t defend against.<\/p>
This left the teams level at 1-1 heading into the change rooms at half-time.<\/p>\n
The second half saw Luso continue to dominate on the field, keeping the home team\u2019s goalkeeper under pressure.<\/p>\n
He, however, rose to the occasion making several fine saves.<\/p>\n
It took a piece of magic from Chagan Kruger for Luso to score their second goal of the match, and the third, and final goal, came courtesy of Marco Cabeleira, securing a 3-1 victory for Luso.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a great result which was well deserved after a great team performance,\u201d said Dylan Willson, on behalf of the club.<\/p>\n
Luso\u2019s reserve team was, however, not as lucky, losing their match 2-0.<\/p>\n
This was another blow, in what has been described as a bad run of results for the team, after going so long without being defeated.<\/p>\n
Luso\u2019s confidence was shaken early after an own goal put Highlands 1-0 ahead.<\/p>\n
The team had few chances to equalise as the match progressed and with only five minutes on the clock Highlands scored their second goal of the match, cementing their victory.<\/p>\n
The club will next face Corinthians Football Club in a home match, at Hattingh Park, on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Kick-off for the first team is at 3.30pm.<\/p>\n
