Maposa's boots too big for new custodian

Youngster Gontse Tlhowe had a shaky debut for Mochudi Centre Chiefs on Sunday as he found the boots of on-loan goalkeeper, Noah Maposa, too big to fill.

Though he was protected by a rock-solid rearguard manned by Michael 'Mahindra' Mogaladi and Given Mpundu, the custodian looked suspect in the 1-1 draw with BDF XI. Towards the end of the game, he left his line to cut across from the left and missed the ball. This forced the technical bench to advise the young goalkeeper not to go out for crosses. Fortunately for Chiefs, BDF XI forwards seemed to have forgotten their scoring boots at home and failed to take advantage of Tlhowe's mistakes.

The young goalkeeper's inexperience was exposed in the 63rd minute when Mokgathi 'Pro' Mokgathi beat him with a beautiful curler for the equaliser. Chiefs had earlier taken the lead through Mpho 'Jomo' Mabogo in the 55th minute. The burly striker fired a cracker past goalkeeper Khalid Niyonzima after finding space in the box. But Magosi were made to rue the numerous scoring chances they created on the day when Mokgathi levelled the score.
