The Gaborone giants gave a good account of themselves, holding the South African giants for over 90 minutes as well as scoring a vital away goal in the 2-1 defeat in the preliminaries of the CAF Champions League. Township Rollers looked set to snatch a 1-1 draw with few seconds remaining, but  goal keeper Mwampule Masule’s last minute lazy error   cost the blues  a famous draw against Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium, on Saturday night.

With few seconds before the final whistle, Kaizer Chiefs played a hopeless ball into the Rollers goal-keeper’s area. The ball looked very easy to catch but somehow Masule caused a corner kick, from which Kaizer Chiefs found the winner as  Tefo Mashamaite headed in.
