| Close, but no cigar for Lioli |
Vital’O (0) 0
Lioli (1) 1 (Jeremia Kamela)
Aggregate: 2-2
Vital’O won on away goals
Lioli crashed
out of the CAF Champions League in the preliminary round yesterday despite a
1-0 second leg win over Vital’O in Bujumbura, Burundi. Tse Nala went into the game trailing 2-1 from the first leg two
weeks ago.
Lioli needed
to score at least two goals to stand any chance of winning the tie because of
the away goals rule. So, despite tying the score 2-2 on aggregate, Lioli lost
on the away goals rule.
Lioli put in a
more urgent display yesterday than they did in the first leg at Setsoto Stadium
where they were wasteful in front of goals.
Tse Nala were rewarded
for their efforts with a Jeremia Kamela goal late in the first half.
However,
Mosholi’s Mokhothu’s side was unable to get the winner in the second half. The scant
consolation for Lioli is they are likely to get a quick opportunity to do
better in the Champions League. Lioli are two points clear in the Vodacom Premier
League and are in pole position to defend their league title.
