With the score tied at 1-1 in the 86th minute, Mudagasi gained possession in their own half. Unchallenged by Jukulyn, Mudagasi's number 10 began an impressive display of ball skills, juggling, rolling over the ball, and performing acrobatic moves.
His teammate, number 9, joined in, showcasing his own unique, if less fluid, style. He headed the ball repeatedly and then the two players danced without the ball, much to the delight of the crowd, especially the children.
The duo then linked arms, circling the ball before lying down with their heads resting on it. The referee, standing nearby, did not intervene. Jukulyn players remained in their own half, seemingly unfazed by the theatrics.
After their two-minute performance, Mudagasi resumed the game. A long pass from midfield found a player on the right side of the penalty area, who then struck a low volley into the far corner, securing the 2-1 win. The crowd erupted in cheers, celebrating the spectacular goal.
The tournament, Champs of Champs 2025, is in its 4th year and brings together the best amateur teams from three provinces: Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and Limpopo. Despite its amateur status, the matches are broadcast on SuperSport.
Mudagasi remains undefeated after three games, while Jukulyn has one win and two losses.
