It has been a busy but highly successful week for Luso Africa FC\u2019s women\u2019s team who played in both the Women\u2019s League and the Women\u2019s Cup finals.<\/p>\n
The team walked away as the winners in both matches.<\/p>
The team first took on Janine van Wyk (JVW) Football Club in the Eastern Local Football Association\u2019s Women\u2019s League final.<\/p>\n
The women started the match on a high with Deme Kapatos scoring a well-taken goal in the opening minutes.<\/p>
This allowed the team the opportunity to relax and enjoy the match, which showed in their dominance of the match and continued possession of the ball.<\/p>\n
The continued pressure JVW was rewarded with a second goal by Micaela Gounden before the half-time whistle.<\/p>\n
The second half saw Luso step-up their performance even further with a really impressive goal by Mampa Thwaele increasing their lead to 3-0. The team, however, was not done yet and added two more goals to their tally with goals from Nadine Jason and Bongi Radebe.<\/p>\n
This gave the club a convincing 5-0 win and ensured the ladies were named league winners.<\/p>\n
The club then travelled to Edenvale, last Thursday, where they faced JVW in the Women\u2019s Cup final.<\/p>\n
The game kicked-off with many supporters from both clubs cheering on the teams.<\/p>\n
After the upset in their league match, the home team didn\u2019t want to give Luso an inch and both teams had a hard time clinching the opening goal.<\/p>\n
Luso\u2019s persistence, however, paid off with an opening goal for Deme Kapatos, which was almost followed by a close second from Bongi Radebe, but the JVW\u2019s goalkeeper was able to make an impressive save.<\/p>\n
Luso\u2019s goalkeeper Yolanda Mphandle had her time to shine during the match, making several saves before the teams headed into half-time.<\/p>\n
The second half was just as thrilling as the first with both teams pushing hard for a goal, however, good defence from both teams meant there was very little action for either goalkeeper.<\/p>\n
The match ended in a 1-0 victory for Luso, with Kapatos\u2019 goal enough to clinch the cup title, the club\u2019s second for the week.<\/p>\n
