Luso Africa put on a convincing display to beat East Sporting 3-1, at the Hattingh Park football grounds, on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Although Luso were the better side on the day, it was the visitors who began the game brightly, by scoring early in the first half.<\/p>
Luso used the long ball tactic for the tall strikers and they always looked threatening against the Sporting defenders.<\/p>\n
The equaliser was bound to come, as they applied the pressure.<\/p>
The goal came from a corner kick which the home side had no problem sticking into the back of the net.<\/p>\n
Although Luso continued to dominate for the rest of the first half, not too many clear goal scoring opportunities were created for the rest of the opening half.<\/p>\n
The two sides were level at halftime, at 1-1.<\/p>\n
The hosts’ tall strikers once again proved their worth in the second half.<\/p>\n
A cross was nodded down to set up a simple goal, for Luso to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n
Sporting tried to fight back but the local side’s defence stood firm.<\/p>\n
So good were the defenders that the visitors were restricted to mainly long range shots, which Luso’s keeper dealt with easily.<\/p>\n
The final nail in Sporting’s coffin came, as there could only be one winner on the day.<\/p>\n
This victory sees Luso still at third place in the Eastern Local FA Super League.<\/p>\n
They are behind Highlands Park and Benoni Northerns.<\/p>\n
They will host Alberton at Hattingh Park on Saturday, with a huge game against Benoni a week later.<\/p>\n
