match, last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Puma Rangers FC started the game very positively with Tumba Kambay scoring a brace within 10 minutes of the start.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>However, the home side\u2019s defence then went to sleep and they allowed Super Rangers back into the game.<\/p>\n<p>With the scoreboard sitting at 4-2 at half-time, Puma Rangers were trailing.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>The second half commenced with Super Rangers on the attack but Puma Rangers\u2019 goalkeeper Tumelo Letsalo made some good saves.<\/p>\n<p>The home side then levelled matters with a brace from winger Richwin Groenewald and a solo run from Bronwyn Levi to add to the score.<\/p>\n<p>Super Rangers then got one back after an own goal from Puma Rangers but the home side had the last laugh with captain Lesley Matare scoring a last minute penalty making the final score 6-5 in favour of Puma Rangers.<\/p>\n<p>This moves Puma Rangers FC to second on the log.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other articles you may be interested in:<\/p>\n<p><a
