Jwaneng Galaxy’s assistant coach, Seemo Mpatane, has praised his players’ fighting spirit after the team secured a hard-fought Orange FA Cup semi-final victory over Gaborone United despite being severely depleted ahead of the encounter.

Galaxy booked their place in the next stage after grinding out a narrow 1-0 win over GU at the National Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with Mpatane revealing that the team travelled into the match with only 11 fit players available for selection.
