Bragging rights return to Magosi

For years, the clash between the two has been arguably the Premier League’s bestseller until Magosi’s relegation few years ago.

Before the start of the season, Magosi returned to the elite league after buying status. The first official encounter with Rollers after their return ended in a 0-0 draw. On Sunday evening, the atmosphere both on and off the field was something to write home about. The attendance was one of the best this season, with fans still arriving in large numbers few minutes before the initial scheduled time, The Premier League authorities rightly took a decision to delay the start of the match by 30 minutes to allow fans to get into the National stadium. Ahead of the encounter, Rollers were looking to return to winning ways and keep up the pace with others after dropping points against TAFIC in the previous encounter. Magosi on the other hand knew pretty well that a win would not only give them bragging rights but would also throw them right inside the title race. Despite the two sides missing several goalscoring opportunities, the game lived up to its expectations.
