Defending league champions, Gaborone United (in red) were held to a draw by Nico United PIC PHATSIMO KAPENG.

Nico United head coach, Reuben Njavera Chikoti, has credited the mid-game tactical switch for his side’s hard-earned draw against defending champions, Gaborone United (GU), in an FNB Premiership tie played at the GU Stadium on Friday night. The two teams played to a 1-1 draw.

GU had taken the lead in the 13th minute when Mpho Kgaswane finished off a flowing move with a strike from outside the box.

The champions had missed two shortly after. On his first start, Thomas Chideu shot widely off the post before Elkanah Nyathi had his shot saved.
