Goal struggle for Mbombela

The log leaders seem to be struggling with goals in the past 3 matches. When the team won 9-0 against MP Highlanders everyone thought they were on the right track but then that seems to be not the case because ever since that match the mbombela boys have been struggling to score goals. The team conquered the derby against Phiva 1-0. A tough game it was that’s what everyone said and the 3 points only mattered. Seems like that was not all as united had another tough game on their way against Apollo. The game ended goalless, not even an offside goal was scored on the day. When everyone had their hopes high about the game against eMzinoni, the game turned out to surprise because the 6-1 they trashed eMzinoni with didn’t happen in the second round as mbombela only managed to score 2 goals. The game ended 2-1 won by united.
The team is aware that though they are winning there’s goal drought which united is currently experiencing and it needs quick attention. Fans believe that the team will find its scoring form back and continue scoring goals and settle their place on top of the log. Mbombela had quite few injuries which might not be good at all for the team because it forces them to change the line-up structure. When Coach was asked on when will the rain come to shower the drought faced by his team, he replied “this is second round so it won’t be easy or the same as first round. The issue of goals is about composure but then we will work on it and the goals will flow again”. The team’s success on this issue will be seen on their upcoming games whether they will be the likes of Mamelodi Sundows or be the struggling Kaizer Chiefs.
