It was a busy week for Luso Africa Football Club, with a home cup match last Thursday, and a home league match last Saturday, both as part of the Eastern Local Football Association (ELFA) Super League.<\/p>\n
The cup match played at Hattingh Park saw Luso\u2019s first team playing host to Sporting Football Club and the second team facing Boksburg Football Club.<\/p>
The first teams\u2019 clash was a tightly contested affair but Luso was the first to put some points on the scoreboard with a goal from a penalty by Leandro De Abreu.<\/p>\n
However, the visitors quickly replied and scored an equaliser before heading into half-time.<\/p>
Moments into the second half, De Abreu scored his second goal of the match, from yet another penalty.<\/p>\n
Sporting helped edge Luso further into the lead when an error led to an own goal, leaving the score 3-1 in the home side\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n
Sporting, however, fought back and managed to score another goal before the final whistle, but it was too little too late.<\/p>\n
Luso will progress to the cup semi-finals after their 3-2 victory.<\/p>\n
In the second teams\u2019 match, Luso had a hard time finding the back of the net squandering a number of opportunities.<\/p>\n
Donovan Thompson finally scored the match\u2019s opening goal midway through the first half.<\/p>\n
In the second half Luso\u2019s defence was well organised and Boksburg showed very little threat despite Luso missing numerous chances.<\/p>\n
The match ended in a 1-0 victory for Luso, allowing them to progress to the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
Last Saturday Luso\u2019s first and second teams faced Randburg in their weekly Super League fixture.<\/p>\n
The matches were a must-win for both teams as the first team looked to extend their lead over Randburg and the second team, who are currently sitting second in the log standings behind Benoni Northerns Football Club, aimed to stay in the title race.<\/p>\n
The first teams\u2019 match was a tight contest before the first whistle as only one point separated the teams in the log standings.<\/p>\n
Neither team wanted to give anything away and things looked even heading into half-time with no points of the scoreboard.<\/p>\n
In the second half, the game opened up a little more and both teams started applying pressure, searching for the winning goal.<\/p>\n
