Top of the charts... Bantu |
Bantu will head
into this coming weekend’s LNIG Top 8 on top of the Vodacom Premier League
after a last minute 1-0 win over Rovers on Saturday. Bantu’s hero on the day
was Itumeleng Falene who scored in the dying moments against a plucky Rovers side.
Until that point it was
a frustrating afternoon for ‘A Matšo
Matebele’ as Rovers seemed poised to cost them two valuable points.
Bantu had to win to
stay on top because Lioli and Kick4Life continued their relentless chase with
wins over LMPS and Likhopo respectively.
Lioli were irresistible
again as they cruised to a 2-0 win over LMPS at PTC on Saturday. Tse Nala’s
goals came courtesy of Tumelo Khutlang and Lekhanya Lekhanya and it was only
LMPS’s second defeat of the season at home. Meanwhile, Kick4Life beat Likhopo 2-1
thanks to goals from Morapeli Lesoetsa and Thabiso Brown to stay third and one
point behind Bantu.
The weekend’s action
also an incredible score-line as Matlama demolished Butha-Buthe Warriors 8-0 on
Sunday. It was a free-for-all and Matlama striker Motebang Sera took advantage
by scoring a hattrick.
