City FC punishes Maritimo"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The Germiston City Football Club&#8217;s junior season opened with a game in the u-15 Super League side away to Maritimo, of Rosettenville, at Pioneer Park.<\/p>\n<p>Germiston started the game looking a bit shaky and were soon down 0-1 to Maritimo.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>Once the team settled into their rhythm they played some very attractive football and soon equalised with a goal by Sabata Dikgale.<\/p>\n<p>Germiston continued to pile the pressure on the Maritimo defence and Germiston&#8217;s persistent Joshua van der Berg forced the opponent&#8217;s goalkeeper to panic, clearing the ball into his path, allowing him to score easily.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>Maritimo put up a brave fight, but it was only a matter of time before the floodgates opened, with Germiston emerging 7-2 victors.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Wiseman Nthuli was very happy with his player&#8217;s performance, but added: &#8220;The score line was flattering, as the Maritimo side showed great potential.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-85005 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon
