| It was an action packed day of Women's Super League football at Makoanyane Barracks... |
Kholu Lebakeng was the hero as champions LDF
Ladies beat Women’s Super League title rivals Kick4Life 1-0 on Saturday
afternoon.
The early championship six-pointer was
played at Makoanyane Barracks with both title favourites buoyed by season
opening wins last weekend and, as expected, it was a close, hard-fought encounter
with neither side willing to give an inch.
In the tense start to the game it was
LDF, however, who looked slightly more purposeful.
Lehloenya Nkhasi’s side, of course, went
into the game looking for revenge after losing 1-0 to Kick4Life in the final of
the season curtain-raising Women’s Super League Tournament in July.
LDF started stronger and dominated much
of the first half although it was Kick4Life who came closest to finding the opener
when Senate Moima hit the crossbar shortly before halftime.
A similar pattern of play continued in
the second half with LDF on top and Kick4Life threatening on the counter.
LDF finally found the breakthrough in
the 83rd minute when an error by Kick4Life keeper Boelo Lephane allowed Lesotho
international Kholu to find a crucial winner. The defeat is an early blow for
Kick4Life who have been runners up in each of the league’s three seasons so far.
LDF, on the other hand, stay on course
to become the first side to win back-to-back Women’s Super League titles.
Earlier in the first match of the double
header at Makoanyane, 2016 champions Stoko made it two wins from two games with
a comfortable 2-0 win over Berea to stay top of the league.
The day’s other double header was held
in Mafeteng and Basetsana showed they will be a force to be reckoned with this
season as they beat Rovers 2-1 in the first game. Last weekend Basetsana were
unlucky to lose 3-2 to Kick4Life and they again put in an impressive display against
Rovers.
In the day’s final fixture, Mafeteng
Sisters and Sky Battalion played to a goalless to claim their first points of
the season after opening weekend defeats.
