Football
The Debmarine Namibia Premiership giants avoided potentially embarrassing exits against lower ranked opposition in the PstBet NFA Cup to progress to the round of 16.
Civics FC showed Swakopmund FC that they still are a bigger force, by beating them 5-0 at the Unam Stadium on Saturday.
A brace by John Gassonu and goals from Romario //Uiseb, Rivaldo Gawanab and Maandero Muusuo was enough to send the Civilians through to the round of 16.
Civics coach Jerry Zimmer lauded his players for a professional display.
“It was a good victory for us and we are proud to be in the round of 16. Our players have the desire to go far in this competition even though we expect bigger challenges going forward.
“We just have to remain focus and play our football,” Zimmer said.
Into double digits
Unam FC handed out a punishing result of 13-0 to northern visitors LK United FC.

Isador Jager, Vihamisa Sirririka, Tyrese Hikupembe and Paulus Hamutenya were also on the scoresheet for the student team.
LK United only strikes were own goals under pressure, conceded by John Sikakure and Richard Kativa.
