Jwaneng Fighters Soothe Relegation Worries

The goal came courtesy of a long pile-driver by Maatla Ditshoso in the 72nd minute in a match that was characterised by plenty of possession on a rain-soaked artificial turf. The two teams came into the game with contrasting fortunes, with Masitaoka on top of the table after hitting form in December, while Jwaneng Fighters found the going tough this season.

With Majatlhaga looking to continue their winning form, they were the first to settle in the match, playing a good passing game while Fighters were happy to sit back and absorb pressure. However, they were let down by poor decision-making in the final third. Emmanuel Ditodi was a threat on the left wing, on many occasions beating his marker. But Fighters’ defence easily dealt with his balls into the box, as their target man, Gaamangwe Sethibe was always isolated.
