Hattingh Park played host to Luso Africa FC\u2019s two senior fixtures on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Luso\u2019s first and second sides went up against Uniao FC.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The first team\u2019s match was filled with skill and tact from both sides which had the soccer fans applauding and whistling for the players.<\/p>\n

Things got more interesting when Luso\u2019s striker, Isiah \u2018Kanu\u2019 Mkwanazi, scored a goal.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The victory was short lived as Uniao equalised just before the end of the first half.<\/p>\n

Mkwanazi struck again in the second half extending the local boys\u2019 lead.<\/p>\n

The second goal motivated the local boys and had them take full dominance of the game.<\/p>\n

A one goal lead was seemingly not enough for Mkwanazi as he extended their lead once again and bagged a third goal.<\/p>\n

Mkwanazi\u2019s hat trick rattled Uniao who reverted to full on defense.<\/p>\n

The match ended in a 3-1 score in favour of Luso.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a well-played game, our boys played with passion and put out their best today,\u201d said Luso Africa\u2019s senior sides\u2019 manager, George Poulos.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur opponents also played a great game, we appreciate the great sportsmanship displayed by the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second team played before the first team and they paved the way for a winning streak way when they won 2-1.<\/p>\n

Brandon Hendricks and Ricky Deabreu were the second side\u2019s goal scorers for the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second team also made us proud as they displayed great football skills,\u201d said Poulos.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Saturday we are playing an away game against Alberton FC.\u201d<\/p>\n
