A thriller in Bloem saw CUT and VUT play to a 2-2 draw. Despite the other two fixtures being goalless there were some standout perfromance and here are our FNB Players That Impressed.
Kgahlisho Kgomoeswana (VUT)
VUT's industrious left-winger mesmerized his opponents with his skills and flair and duly collected the FNB Player of the Match award for his efforts. He made several threatening moves inside the half of CUT but most chances were in vain.
"We did not play according to the plan. We did not play as expected. But we just have to go to the drawing board and fix things," Kgomoeswana said.
Mlamuli Hlongwa (DUT)
Despite the loss to UWC, DUT performed well in wet conditions. One player who enjoyed himself the most was attacker, Mlamuli Hlongwa made impressive runs on the attack as he tried to give DUT something that could change the game's outcome.
"It was a tough match and the weather conditions were pretty bad in the stadium with the rain. All our matches are away, so we need to adapt to the weather conditions of the places we go to and try to do better. I am happy with my game performance and I hope I can improve from here."
Moeti Mofokeng (UFS)
Mofokeng played an exceptional game in the midfield for UFS and he managed to create a lot of chances, while he also never lost the ball. He was sold on attack and in the defence as well with his efforts being rewarded by being named as the FNB Player of the Match.
"It was a tough game, but we are happy to take a point. It was physical and TUT brought the game to us. While we had to share points, it was good preparation for the upcoming match against Tuks."
Paballo Mamabolo (UP-Tuks)
Although log UP-Tuks shared the spoils with NWU, The Pretoria side enjoyed much possession, especially in the second half. Compact in midfield, orchestrating play and initiating attacks was Paballo Mamabolo. The 21-year-old played an integral role in managing the game well for Tuks.
“We fought, it was tough but we will take the point. We will continue to push and get the three points in the next game. I've always emphasized watching football to see how people like Sergio Busquets and Rodri inspired me to play how I play and remain comfortable throughout the games. Thanks to the fans, they came in numbers. We didn't give them the three points but it is a step in the right direction, it’s not over.”
