CBC FC avenge local derby loss
CBC Football Club avenged their derby loss to Boksburg with a 4-1 thumping home victory on a cloudy and chilly Women’s Day.
An Eddie Cassonga strike separated the two sides in their reverse fixture in May.
Much like the previous fixture, the game proved to be a tight affair until the second-half, with both teams cancelling each other out and clear-cut chances coming sparingly.
Half-time score was 0-0.
The homeside got their noses in front after the restart before the Blues’ Donovan Sole equalised with a gem of a free-kick to leave the match perfectly poised for an entertaining finish.
CBC was not going to be denied; however, and they upped the ante to regain their one goal advantage, 2-1.
The floodgates would open, and the homeside added their third and fourth to complete the rout and leapfrog their rivals into sixth position on the log.
“It was a good performance,” said CBC coach Glen Brierley.
“We were prepared and the guys are happy with it.”
Asked of their game plan to avoid a consecutive loss to Boksburg coming into the match, Brierley added: “The plan was to try and stretch them as much as possible. We’ve been struggling with injuries and the plan was to put as much pressure on them as possible.”
