Fighters Back In The Premiership

Substitute, Tumo Kgosiedirang struck late to guide his side into promotion in a game played at the National Stadium on Saturday afternoon as Fighters won the two-legged encounter 1-0. The two teams had played to a 0-0 draw in the first leg last weekend at the Sam Sono Stadium.

Playing under overcast conditions, both sides started the game at a slow pace with neither side showing sense of urgency in the final third. The first chance came as late as the 25th minute as Morgan Gaseitsiwe beat his marker on the edge of the box but saw his shot rattling the bar for the visitors. The chance brought Nico's attack back to life as the hosts resorted to stay at the back and tried to catch their opponents on the break. On the brink of half time, Thuso Keraetswe nearly capitalized from Nico's failure to make a decisive clearance but his chance went straight into the goalkeeper's hands. The chance brought down a curtain on a dreadful half.
