A great display of football from Dynamos Football Club ( FC) on Sunday, saw them beat Spain FC 1-0 in their friendly game at the Nomzamo soccer ground.

Dynamos started the game on a high note attacking their opponents in the first 20 minutes of the first half.

Spain’s goalkeeper was busy as the Dynamos players kept on knocking at his goal post and keeping Spain’s defence on the backfoot.

After numerous attempts to put one behind Spain’s goalkeeper, Dynamos was finally rewarded when they were awarded a corner kick 25 minutes into the first half.

The corner kick was nicely placed allowing Dynamos players to test the goalkeeper, who saved it and Inganathi Mpolo scored the goal on a rebound.

The last 20 minutes of the first half was a different ball game as Spain had their fair chances but failed to convert their chances into goals.
