Sembowa's Late Strike Sinks Lesotho

The Zebras had only won one game under the guidance of David Bright prior to the weekend’s fixture and were under pressure to redeem themselves while fans shun the game. From the first minute, the home side showed their intentions and launched an enterprising counter attack led by Kabelo Seakanyeng and Edwin Moalosi. However, the former could not find the back of the net and shot wide.

Five minutes later, Gift Moyo also missed his chance from yet another Zebras attack. The Zebras continued to dominate the proceedings on the day, having a lion’ share of the ball possession but could not break the deadlock as their opponents sat back. In the 35th minute, Mpho Kgaswane managed to beat his two markers with skill but his effort from a tight angle went wide. With five minutes to recess, the home side suffered an injury blow as Thabang Mosige limped out and was replaced by Mosha Gaolaolwe. Samuel Khetsekile superbly denied Gift Moyo on a one-on-one situation to keep it level at 0-0 at the break.
