Notwane struck late to earn a point in a 1-1 draw against Matebejana in a fiercely contested Debswana First Division South League game played at the SSG Ground on Saturday afternoon.

Both teams went into the match looking to protect their unbeaten streaks and it was evident in the first minutes, as neither side created a chance at goal, instead, resorting to cautious approaches.

But it changed in the 13th minute when Notwane striker, Ishmael Amponsa rose high to meet Tsogang Israel’s cross but the effort went straight into the keeper’s hands. Both sides failed to get grip of the game as the half was marked by self-inflicted mistakes. However, the much awaited goal came with only five minutes to the break. Cosmos Folai beat the offside trap and beat Michael Pepukani to the far post to give his side the lead, sending the handful Matebejana supporters into wild celebrations. ‘Tigerkloof’ took a one goal lead to the break.
