In the second leg of the Olympia Football Club friendly pre-season tournament, this Saturday, Germiston City Football Club faced a strong Linhill Celtic Football Club, who were fresh from a victory.<\/p>\n
Despite this, Germiston started the match well and created a few chances at goal.<\/p>
However, it was Linhill who drew the first blood with a well-timed kick at goal that split the Germiston defence and beat the keeper.<\/p>\n
Germiston soon responded and drew level, only three minutes after Linhill\u2019s opening goal, with a goal by Thabang Mohaeka.<\/p>
The teams went into half-time 1-1.<\/p>\n
In the second half, Germiston continued their attack and came close to the net on a couple of occasions.<\/p>\n
But once again it was Linhill who took the initiative, after some sloppy defending by Germiston, and scored another goal taking them to a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n
Germiston\u2019s coach Sreten Pavlovic decided then it was time to make some necessary changes, which included substitute Anthony Uzochukwu, who soon levelled the score.<\/p>\n
The club continued to put the pressure on a tiring Linhill side and was soon rewarded with a goal from Rufai Tunde.<\/p>\n
Germiston wrapped the match up with a goal from Sinethemba Manqele, giving them a 4-2 victory.<\/p>\n
Germiston\u2019s reserve team won their game against Linhill reserves 4-0 through a good display of football.<\/p>\n
The final game of the tournament takes place at The Italian Club in Bedfordview on Saturday with Germiston facing the Katlehong-based Zwide Football Club.<\/p>\n
