(ELFA) Super League against Edenvale Football Club on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Neville Nkala was the first to find the back of the net with a clear shot, putting Luso in the lead early in the game.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>An easy goal by the visitors saw them attempt to scale up the scoreboard, evening the score at 1-1.<\/p>\n<p>Luso sported enough momentum throughout the first half and subsequently paced through Edenvale\u2019s midfielders, allowing Shawn Ndlovu a goal, setting Luso two points ahead as they headed to the locker rooms for half-time.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>In the second half, Luso continued dominating over their opponents and secured a 3-1 win against them, thanks to Thando Joshua\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was a sad turn of events as Luso\u2019s u-13s could not carry on the winning streak set by the u-12s, against Edenvale in their clash.<\/p>\n<p>All scoring efforts were impressively blocked by Edenvale\u2019s goalkeeper.<\/p>\n<p>Although they dominated the ball possession, Luso was unable to capitalise on any of their scoring opportunities, leading to a 2-0 defeat by Edenvale.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>ALSO READ:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><a
