The win ensured that Mapalastina complete a double over the visitors after beating them by the same score in the first round. Rollers slipped to second spot for 24 hours after their main title rivals Mochudi Centre Chiefs beat Killer Giants on Friday night at UB Stadium. Mapalastina now have 41 points from 17 games with Chiefs in second spot with 39 points from the same number of games. On Saturday, Rollers seemed to be out to bury their opponents and regain the league leadership. Mapalatina scored the first goal as early as the fifth minute through captain Joel '16' Mogorosi who made a good run on the right. Boteti goalkeeper Chamu Madamombe could have done better to stop the ball from going in but he was let down by poor positioning.
While the visitors were still trying to settle in the game, Rollers increased the score when Tebogo Mothusi tapped home from close range after a well timed cross from Onalethata Tshekiso in the 26th minute. The Orapa-based side hardly created chances in the game and their passes hardly reached their destination. Four minutes from the break, Tshekiso made a good run on the left, sold a dummy and riffled the ball into top corner to give Rollers a 3-0 lead at half-time.
