Chinyemba sees red in blockbuster fixture

The rescheduled blockbuster fixture between Matjimenyenga and Moyagoleele took place at the colossal Obed Itani Chilume Stadium and ended in a one-all draw. Before the game started, there was uncertainty about whether it would be played after it was postponed towards the end of last year because of a waterlogged pitch following heavy rains.

On Wednesday, it was unclear again if the game would proceed owing to persistent rain in Francistown. GU was the first to draw blood in the first half through Molaodi Tlhalefang before TAFIC equalised through Kemoneetswe Mmangwedi with a scorcher following some neat exchanges in the box. It was a game that could have gone either way. Both teams played an entertaining game but their undoing was failure to convert the avalanche of chances they created. TAFIC’s Chinyemba got his marching orders in the second half after he had a heated exchange with the referee. Chinyemba remonstrated with the referee for failing to award TAFIC a foul after its player was infringed but the decision went in GU's favour. Chinyemba had heated words with the fourth official who was trying to bring him to order but the former did not budge.
