Mbombela United to be crowned Champions

Evidence Mahlalela

Though it has not been officiated yet but the log leaders can now go to their last match against Phiva Young Stars with a huge relief after Phiva decided to hand the championship tittle to United before the league even ended. Phiva lost by two goals to nil (2-0) over the weekend when they hosted East High Academy at Kamhkushwa Stadium. Phiva sit on second position with 63 points while united is ahead with 68 points. The two are separated by 5 points gap with only one game left which will be played this coming Saturday at Kanyamazane Stadium as Mbombela will be hosting the Nkomazi rivals.

Phiva’s failure to beat East High took them off the championship race and so the play off dream. Likewise someone else’s loss work to someone else’s advantage and this one surely did for United. The god that United serve is surely great because if Phiva had won the game then this would have been another story, the two would have been expected to fight for life on the last game. Though with these two biggest competitors every time they clash it’s like a cup final, they play like it’s a matter of life and death.  Mbombela has joined the likes of; Juventus, FC Bayern Munchen, Barcelona, Chelsea, Kaizer Chiefs and the NFD champions Golden Arrows by clinching the title before the league could even end. It seems to be the case of ending the league with style this season so United didn’t disappoint as it also joined the big names.

This was the first season of the ABC Motsepe League as it was previously known as Vodacom League. Mbombela United becomes the first time champions of the ABC Motsepe in the Mpumalanga stream this means the mighty Tingwenyama will be playing the promotional play offs representing Mpumalanga Province however a fixed date has not been out yet. Mbombela United couldn’t be happier than this; the team already pictures themselves in play offs and making it to NFD. United has even had quite few radio interviews and the Chairmen Skhumbuzo Matsebula says it with no fear that they are the 2014/15 champions of the ABC Motsepe League. Even the coach himself wrote on social networks “sesiyithethe I league bafana bami” this was one kind of joy the team couldn’t hide nor wait for the final day to reveal. After a long and hard but fruitful season for united they can actually breathe relief before they host Phiva on Saturday.
