Green Birds' Giants killing spree ends

Molapo Green Birds' giants killing spree in the Coca-Cola Cup came to an end yesterday following their 3-1 loss to Gaborone United (GU) at Molepolole Sports Complex. Green Birds have been the only lower division side remaining in the competition.

Having defeated other Premier League sides, Nico United and Notwane, all eyes were on GU to see how they fare against the lower division side from Mmopane. GU however, passed the test with flying colours and proceeded to the last four of the competition, joining Mochudi Centre Chiefs, Township Rollers and BDF XI. GU caretaker coach, Philemon Makhwengwe started with Pako Moloi upfront, with both Ronald Chikomo and Makundika Sakala sitting on the bench. The former Notwane striker repaid Makhwengwe's faith in him by scoring GU's first goal in the opening half. His goal separated the two sides at half time.
