Tycoons record first win
Posted: 29 August 2009 Time: 17:55
Platinum Stars recorded a must-needed first League win of the season as they defeated Maritzburg United 1-0 at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium.
However, the Tycoons had to rely on a late winner from Rueben Thebakang for the three points.
However, they were helped in no small measure by the sending off of Musa Nyatama four minutes into the second half, having collected his first yellow card on the stroke of half-time.
The result move Stars right back into contention with five points from their four games, and they’ll back their chances of three points in their next fixture – a home tie against Black Aces.
