Reduced League Schedule as Cup Finals Take Center Stage

With six teams involved in the Summer Cup finals, only three league matches were played last night across the divisions.

Division 2:
Barcelona edged past Flying Eagles in a high-scoring contest, winning 5-4 in a thrilling encounter.

Division 3:
Old Parks fell to GPMI, who secured a solid 3-0 victory. In another closely fought match, Randfontein narrowly defeated Randburg 4-3.

Thrilling Night of Finals at Panorama Sports Club

It was an electric evening at Panorama Sports Club as all three Summer Cup finals were played simultaneously, giving supporters non-stop action across all divisions.

Division 3 Final:
Sandton Warriors, fresh from their promotion to Division 2, faced Florida Albion. In a surprising result, Florida delivered a great performance, defeating Warriors 4-1 to claim the title.

Division 2 Final:
Lenasia and Leeds battled in a tightly contested match. Both sides exchanged goals in a high-quality encounter, but Leeds emerged victorious with a 3-2 win after a fantastic display from both teams.

Division 1 Final:
The evening’s main event saw Global United and Joburg City, the top two teams in the league, clash for the Summer Cup crown. Global United started strong, racing to a 2-0 lead. However, discipline issues and several yellow cards allowed Joburg City to mount a comeback, leveling the score at 2-2.

With nothing separating the sides after regulation time, the final was settled by penalties. The shootout was flawless except for Joburg City’s opening miss, which proved decisive. Global United converted all five of their penalties to secure a 5-4 victory and lift the cup for the 3rd time in history

All the following matches will be hosted at Panorama Sports Ground, which offers three guaranteed fields with load-shedding protection:
