Netherlands victory over South Africa

Two goals in either half by Vivianne Miedema
were enough to hand the Netherldands a 2-0
victory over Banyana Banyana in the second
international friendly match played on Tuesday at
the Mandemakers Stadium in Waalwijk.
The hosts won the first encounter 1-0 on
Saturday.
Vera Pauw, head coach of the Sasol-sponsored
Banyana, made two changes to the side that
started the first match – bringing on Jermaine
Seoposenwe and Linda Motlhalo for Thembi
Kgatlana and Sanah Mollo.
The home side made wholesale changes as they
brought in ten players – with only captain
Sherida Spitse retaining her place.
Like in the first encounter, the visitors started on
the back foot as the home side was calling all
the shots.
But the defence managed to hold firm until the
31st minute when Miedema was unmarked and
sent in a curler that beat Banyana goalkeeper
Roxanne Barker – whose fingertips were not
enough to stop the ball.

Buhari is a biased president, evidences abound against Fasola, Amaechi, others – Lagos PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State has rubbished claim by President Muhammadu Buhari that there is no evidence of corruption against his appointees. Lagos PDP, in a statement on Sunday by its publicity secretary, Taofiq Gani, accused Buhari of shielding his “corrupt” ministers because of their financial contributions to his election. Calling names of those who have serious allegations, the statement noted that, “These are in the public glare and we are surprised that the president exhibits volte-face on these matters. “For instance, Fashola has many corruption petitions against him during and after his tenure as governor of Lagos State. “Groups such as True Face of Lagos, CACOL and individuals have their petitions unattended to by the authorities,” he said. “The reported outcome of enquiry, which indicted Rotimi Amaechi, of unaccounted sum of N3 trillion, when he was governor of Rivers State, is lying unattended to by the authorities and Chris Ngi...
