Top dogs for another week... Kick4Life |
Lioli and Bantu
played to an entertaining draw at Setsoto Stadium this afternoon but it wasn’t enough
for either team to take top spot in the Vodacom Premier League.
That honour remains with Kick4Life who are the leaders of the pack for a second successive
week after a convincing 3-1 win over struggling Linare at the LCS Stadium.
Kick4Life have
16 points, two ahead of Lioli and LMPS who briefly took the lead of the league
last night after a drawing 1-1 with LCS.
Bantu are in fourth
place, three points adrift of Kick4Life but having played a game less. Matlama
will also be satisfied with where they stand thanks to yesterday’s last gasp
1-0 win over Likhopo. Tse Putsoa are
fifth with 12 points and they also have a game in hand on the sides above them.
But the happiest
team is once again Kick4Life who were celebrating as early as the third minute
against Linare thanks to a goal from high-profile off-season signing Bokang
Mothoana. The Lesotho international then doubled Kick4Life’s lead a minute
before halftime.
Linare were
given a lifeline when Themba Mzamane netted from the penalty spot in the 56
minute. However, red hot striker Thabiso Brown sealed the deal for Leslie Notši’s
side with an 85th minute penalty. Brown has now scored seven goals in seven
games to lead the Vodacom Premier League goal-scoring charts.
Meanwhile, despite
their goalless draw at Setsoto, both Bantu and Lioli will be relatively happy
with their weekend’s work. A point is better than nothing and they are still
within striking distance of the top.

In other action
today, Sundawana notched their first win of the season with an entertaining 3-2
win over Liphakoe at the Maputsoe DiFA Stadium. The win comes after the
dismissal of Sidwell Mothea as coach this past week. Tse Bo Yellow, who finished fourth last season, have moved up two
spots to tenth place.
In the day’s final
result, Butha-Buthe Warriors got their first point of the season with a 1-1
draw against Rovers. Both clubs, however, remain favourites for the drop.
Warriors are bottom with one point; Rovers are just above them with just two.
It’s not looking good for either.
