The team is not in for cheap talks but action as they keep their winning momentum on track. Mbombela continue to be the only unbeaten team internationally for the current season. Phiva Young Stars’s draw worked to Mbombela’s advantage as they widen the gap between the two top teams of the ABC Motsepe league.

The stadium was filled as fans came out in numbers to support their teams. God Chosen hosted Mbombela at Kanyamazane stadium on Saturday 28^th evening. United managed to walk away with 3 points after a tough 1-0 win. Both teams knew how tough the game was going to be following their 1-1 draw at the beginning of the season. These two teams are from same area and also share a home ground. United attacked and forced the hosts to defend however the attacking didn't pay off with a goal but just on and off target shots.

Mlungisi attempted in the late minutes of the first half when he challenged the goalkeeper’s skills and confidence however he failed and instead got injured of which was not good for the team. Chosen had united right where it suited them as none of the chances converted to goals. The hosts struggled to get promising chances this is because united was into them and forced them to be very defensive than attacking. The game went to a goalless half time. The second half was very tough as Mbombela attacked but they were unlucky until the last minutes of the game when the referee awarded them a penalty which was taken by Victor Shongwe. The captain found the net and gave united 1-0 lead which was the only goal of the day as United took 3 points and added to its 38 points. United’s next game is against their biggest competitor and number 2 on the log table, Phiva Young Stars.
