Kick4Life open up six-point Vodacom Premier League lead

Kick4Life have opened up a six-point lead at the top of the Vodacom Premier League after a 2-0 win over Rovers this afternoon in Roma. Kick4Life’s victory was secured by goals from Morapeli Lesoetsa and Thabiso Brown and means they are guaranteed to end another week on top of the league.

It will be Kick4Life’s fourth successive week in the league’s lead and it was another convincing display.

Rovers had gone into the game with confidence after last weekend’s 2-1 win over champions Lioli 2-1 and were hopeful of another positive result to move them further away from danger. However, Kick4Life had other ideas and Leslie Notši’s charges were in front within 12 minutes thanks to Lesoetsa.

Kick4Life controlled proceedings and almost doubled their lead on the stroke of halftime when Bokang Mothoana hit the crossbar. That close shave didn’t matter however as Brown sealed the result in the 76th minute. It was Brown’s eighth goal of the season and sees him top the goal-scorer’s charts.

There was also joy for LDF in the only other match played today as Sohle-Sohle beat Liphakoe 2-0 at Ratjomose. It is LDF’s fourth win in succession and it has lifted them into third place, six points behind Kick4Life and right back into the title picture.

LDF’s goals came courtesy of winger Tšeliso Phera and ageless striker Mojela Letsie. LDF’s four-match winning streak is the longest such run in the league. In fact, Motheo Mohapi’s troops haven’t lost since a 1-0 loss to Lioli on September 11.

Sohle-Sohle are unbeaten in the seven games since and could be a dark horse in the title race.

Saturday’s Vodacom Premier League Results:
Rovers 0, Kick4life 2 (Lesoetsa, Brown)
LDF 2 (Mojela, Phera), Liphakoe 0
