FC Angels salvage important draw with Arsenal FC
PLAYING with just 10 men on the field, FC Angels came from behind as they salvaged an important 1–1 draw when they took on their neighbours, Arsenal FC, during their Motherwell Football Association (MOFA) Premier League game at Motherwell NU 9 Stadium on Sunday.
Angels were reduced to 10 men after their goalkeeper, John Last, was given a red card by the referee as he fouled an Arsenal FC player in a one-on-one situation. The makeshift goalkeeper excelled in the goals, as he pulled some brilliant saves. The first half ended in a goalless draw, as both sides could not break the deadlock.
Arsenal FC mid-fielder, Siyakholwa Ngalo, rounded two Angels defenders, and made a perfect pass to striker, Luyanda Heavy Tinise, who scored the first goal, which put Arsenal FC 1–0 ahead in the 59th minute.
Angels’ evergreen defender, Uyanda Majali, managed to close down Tinise when he scored his second goal in the 67th minute.
Angels left full-back, Ayabonga Jonas, was fouled by an Arsenal defender, which led to the referee giving a free kick to Angels. This was taken by Mawethu Jonas, whose long-range volley beat Arsenal goalkeeper, Ayaxola Dikana, in the 72nd minute.
