TUT FC Women 2-4 Johannesburg University Women – Six-Goal Thriller Sees Uni Side Dominate

The South Africa Women’s League served up an entertaining encounter on 26 June 2026 as TUT FC Women hosted Johannesburg University Women at the TUT Stadium. The visitors emerged victorious with a 4-2 scoreline, overcoming an early TUT lead to claim three important points in the league standings.

Match Overview

Both teams entered the match in good form, but it was TUT who made the faster start. Forward Lebogang Mohlala opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a composed finish after a quick counterattack. However, Johannesburg University responded with intent, equalising just seven minutes later through midfielder Sasha Ndlovu, who curled a shot into the top corner from outside the box.

The away side took control midway through the first half. Striker Thando Zuma put them ahead in the 32nd minute with a powerful header from a corner, and then doubled their lead just before half-time, turning in a cross from the left to make it 3-1.

Second-Half Action

Johannesburg University continued to dictate play after the break. Zuma completed her hat-trick in the 66th minute, slotting home after a defensive mix-up in the TUT box. TUT refused to surrender, and they pulled one back in the 78th minute when substitute Refiloe Kgaswane scored a close-range rebound. Despite late pressure, the home side could not find a third.
