Luso Africa FC\u2019s senior third side played against Alberton FC, at Hattingh Park, in Primrose East, on Saturday.<\/p>\n

This was Luso\u2019s sixth game in the First Easterns League and they had won two and lost three matches prior to Saturday\u2019s encounter.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe third side is more like a social side and, although we won the first two and lost the other three matches, I have a good feeling about this match, the team is in top shape,\u201d said Luso Africa\u2019s manager of senior football, Joe de Silva, ahead of the game.<\/p>\n

Luso had scored one goal at the end of the first half.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

At the beginning of the second half, Luso were seemingly more relaxed and were punished with a fine goal by Alberton.<\/p>\n

This livened things up on the field, with Luso reclaiming ball possession and taking shots at goal.<\/p>\n

For some time it seemed as though both teams wanted to round-up the fixture with a draw, as players began showing off their skills at handling the ball, instead of attacking and heading for the goal posts.<\/p>\n

This frustrated both coaches and, after a few reprimands, the players went back to playing to win and produced some fine football.<\/p>\n

Two more goals from Luso had them revert to a full-on defence formation, to secure the lead.<\/p>\n

They won the fixture 3-1.<\/p>\n

\u201cA big well done to them, they are playing really well,\u201d said de Silva.<\/p>\n
