Late Stars' Goal Stun GNT

FRANCISTOWN: A late goal scored in the 80th minute gave Calendar Stars a win against Great North Tigers (GNT) in a lukewarm Francistown derby at the old Francistown Stadium on Saturday.

Stars were the better side of the two in an average encounter. The hosts could have grabbed the lead as early as the 10th minute when attacking midfielder, Oketsang Mochaina found himself with only  the goalkeeper to beat but instead sent his shot wide. Seconds later, Calendar’s Thabo Leposo thought he had found the lead with a low ground shot from within the edge of the goal area. But GNT goalkeeper,  Segolame Jobe produced a stunning save.

Tigers failed to click in the first half and seldom went forward although they had one significant chance to gain the lead towards the break. Forward, Mbatshi Machongo failed to capitalise on a defensive blunder by left back Kagiso Katse. His shot, which lacked power, fell straight into the hands of goalie Nsala Mosinyi.
