The agony is over

After the goalless draw against Boteti Young Fighters halted their march to glory last weekend, Chiefs came into Wednesday's game knowing that nothing less than a victory would see them lifting their first title in over 30 years. This put the players under pressure and it was no surprise when the champions conceded early in the game.

Fighters' winger Charles Mositwane made a telling run on the left and crossed in the box. Chiefs' goalkeeper Noah Maposa was expected to make an easy catch but he spilled the ball and Thatayotlhe Gaokgorwe took full advantage to give Fighters the lead. Fighters played beautiful football and gave Chiefs little room in the opening 20 minutes much to the delight of their supporters. The Brazilians were inspired by the presence of their patron, President Ian Khama who watched the game from the Pandamatenga tunnel.
