JvW Women 3-0 City Ladies Women
JvW Women beat City Ladies Women 3-0 in the Super League Group Stage on Friday evening. The home side opened the scoring at the 55th minute when R. Mogolola converted a penalty. To be fair, the penalty sequence itself was messy — first attempt missed, then Mogolola got it home.
G. Salgado took over from there. The striker had nothing to do all evening until the 64th minute, when she scored her first of the night. And here's the thing about Salgado — she doesn't need much space. By then the game was effectively over, but she wanted her own number.
The hat-trick came at 90+5, when Salgado ran riot in front of the City Ladies goal. City Ladies had nothing to do all evening after that penalty, and their clean-sheet run came to an end in the worst possible way. Three goals without reply means one mistake ends it.
JvW sit in second place with 14 points from six games. Four wins and two draws, no defeats. City Ladies remain at the bottom with zero points from six losses. The gap between them could not be wider.
Recent form tells you everything. JvW drew 1-1 with Ramatlhohle then beat Tshwane University 2-1 on their last outings. City Ladies lost 2-0 to University Fort Hare after beating Tshwane 3-2 — inconsistency is their problem.
And here's the thing about a 3-0 scoreline — it looks comfortable until you remember City Ladies scored three themselves just days ago. But against JvW, they had nothing. The result keeps JvW in control of the tie, while City Ladies are still weighing up a move to survive.
