Jwaneng Galaxy’s coach Miguel da Costa has blasted match officials and league administrators following his side’s narrow 2-1 win over Gaborone United (GU) on Saturday evening.

Galaxy had to come from a goal down to keep themselves in league contention with just a game left. However, da Costa was an unimpressed man with the match referee, Keabetswe Dintwa and also said the playing ground should be level, citing that title rivals, Township Rollers have one game advantage over his side. 

“What I do not like is that you reach to the last week of the season and there is one team with two games to play while one team with one.

I am not complaining. What I am saying is that things should be fair.”
