The Super League Cup had Luso Africa FC and Alberton FC battling it out on the field at the Luso Africa Sports Club, Hattingh Park, on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The spectators showed their tremendous support and passion for the game as they kept cheering players, despite the cold and windy weather.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Consistency from both first teams was the one element that stood out throughout the game.<\/p>\n

Luso Africa was more focused on straight-up attack, while Alberton worked hard at keeping the balance with tactical attacks and a strong defence line.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The first half was mainly a warm-up analysis, as both teams took time to study each other’s kind of play with a few close shots at goal.<\/p>\n

This half was concluded by a nil-to-nil scoreboard and the realisation that neither was going to glide through easily in this fixture.<\/p>\n

Luso’s continuous attack was well rewarded with a fine goal roughly five minutes into the second half, which strengthened Alberton’s defence.<\/p>\n

The first goal didn’t rattle Alberton much, as they didn’t change much on the play but rather increased their shots at goal.<\/p>\n

Luso’s victory was short-lived as Alberton evened the score.<\/p>\n

Fair-play gave way for some time until Alberton bagged a second goal minutes before the end of the game.<\/p>\n

There is with no doubt that both teams are skilled, as each goal, from both teams, was well fought and sweated for.<\/p>\n
