Gaborone United (GU) has lived up to its billing as the 'Money Machine' by becoming the first club to pocket the biggest ever pile of cash in local football - the P1 million top prize in the be MOBILE Premier League. The Reds ended 19 years of waiting when they overcame the more fancied defending champions Mochudi Centre Chiefs 1-0 in a tense title decider at the Molepolole Sports Complex on Saturday. The Gaborone side needed only a draw while Chiefs wanted a win to win the inaugural edition of the be MOBILE Premier League and retain the title they won last year with an unbeaten record. GU went a step further to beat their arch-rivals and make their celebrations even sweeter. GU completed a double over Chiefs this season after winning the first round fixture 2-1.
Wellington Maposa's priceless strike in the 39th minute settled a lukewarm affair between the two soccer giants. The match failed to live up to the hype that characterised its build-up.
