Civics grabbed second place on the MTC NPL log after thrashing Mighty Gunners 7-1 at the Mokati Stadium in Otjiwarongo on Saturday. Civics went on the attack from the start and by half time were already leading 4-0. The one way traffic continued after the break as they completed the comprehensive victory which saw them overtaking Black Africa and moving into second place on the log.
It was quite a lucrative victory as Civics will now earn N$180 000 as league runners up, while BA will receive N$100 000 for finishing third.
Eslin Kamuhanga and Pineas Jacob each scored a brace for Civics, while Donnelly Nel, Ashley Jossop and Nelson Angula scored the other goals.
Black Africa drew 1-1 against Oshakati City but their coach Ali Akan was hopping mad after the game after the referee disallowed two goals by Jerome Louis.
Oshakati’s veteran striker Cascas Angula gave them the lead just before halftime before Louis equalised midway through the second half. Louis however had two more goals disallowed – one for offside and one for a foul - leading Akan to say that he would take drastic measures and report the matter with the Anti Corruption Commission.
“This cannot carry on any more. I will report this matter to the Anti Corruption Commission because we were blatantly robbed of victory. This poor officiating in Namibia cannot continue anymore,” he said.
SKW finished fourth despite losing 2-1 to Eleven Arrows in Walvis Bay. Rudolph Bester scored both Arrows’ goals, while Marco van Wyk scored for SKW. SKW receive N$75 000 for finishing fourth, while fifth-placed Arrows will receive N$45 000.
Orlando Pirates finished sixth after beating Chief Santos 2-0 at the SKW Stadium and will collect N$25 000 for their efforts.
African Stars, who already won the title and the first prize of N$400 000 on Wednesday evening, drew 0-0 against Ramblers at Windhoek’s Independence Stadium.
