NWU Eagles and UFS share the spoils in a goalless draw

Reigning Varsity Football champions, North-West University (NWU) Eagles, and the University of Free State shared the spoils in a goalless draw in the fourth round of the 2021 Varsity Football tournament.

This game was an action-packed encounter, with both teams producing a slew of chances to break the tie, but none coming to fruition.

“It was a very tactical game from both sides. A close call from the assistant referee for the offside denied us a crucial goal in the dying minutes of the game,” says NWU coach Karabo Masehela.
