REHOBOTH – The First National Bank Classic Clashes kicked off last week Thursday with matches between Concordia College and Rocky Crest High, Kolin Foundation of Arandis and Swakopmund’s West Side High and Coastal High against Swakopmund Secondary School.
According to a statement availed to Nampa by FNB on Tuesday, Concordia College came out victorious against Rocky Crest, winning 2-0 in a match played at the Concordia College soccer field in Windhoek.
The statement said Hange Mbaunguraije was the star player of Concordia, scoring the first goal and being crowned FNB Man of the Match, while the second goal for Concordia was scored by Tjongarero Tjazupo.
“Fans of Concordia supported their team loudly and were rewarded with a win of 2-0 by the school team,” the statement said.
“We have been playing Rocky for almost three years and thus know their game plan. Our plan was to attack the midfielders and when attacking, made sure the defenders made a lot of mistakes and we capitalised on that,” Concordia’s coach Kaulinge Joseph was quoted as saying.
In the matches that took place at the coast over the weekend, Kolin Foundation beat their old rivals West Side High 4-1, while Coastal High were beaten at home 3-4 on penalties by Swakopmund Secondary School.
Kolin Foundation team captain, Alberto Katiti afterwards said they were determined and ambitious, which is why they were able to out-muscle the other team.
“It was a fair game. I would like to say thank you to FNB and AquaSplash for sponsoring us and we look forward to more exciting events,” Katiti was quoted as saying.
