LOBATSE: Township Rollers snatched a 1-0 Coca- Cola victory away to BMC in Lobatse in a match that failed to create much excitement. Captain, Edwin Olerile scored from the penalty spot after Takudzwa Ndorono had brought down sensational Rollers forward Tsotso Ngele inside the box in the 27th minute. Both teams lacked creativity though the visitors appeared to have better ideas of unlocking their opponents' defence.Despite failing to produce the much anticipated entertainment characteristic of knockout football, Rollers still could have buried their opponents under an avalanche of goals.
They looked dangerous with their counter attack football, but forwards Ntsesang Simanyana and Sekhana 'Nandos' Koko fluffed four clear cut chances between themselves when BMC defence was caught at sexes and sevens.Although he was left exposed by poor defending on several occasions, BMC goal minder Ndoro, shone brightly, reducing the damage to a mere 1-0 defeat. Ngele pounced in the third minute after escaping attention from Omphemetse Molapo, but shot wide.
