JWANENG: Jwaneng Galaxy’s interim head coach, Seemo Mpatane says his side is targeting victories in all the remaining five games to clinch the FNB Premiership title.

Galaxy maintained their top spot with a 3-1 win over Extension Gunners on Saturday afternoon. For the third consecutive match, the champions had to come from behind to claim the maximum points on the day. Mpatane has since praised the team’s character following the comeback win but said they should not be living on the knife edge as the league approaches its climax.

“It is negative and positive at the same time. We cannot be living on the knife edge. Every time we go for the halftime break, we are stressed. It is for the third time now. But what I like about these boys is that the belief is there, the character is there,” he said. Mpatane added that the pressure imminent in the last remaining games and said his side should win all the remaining games. “We will have to win all the games. Even when we are behind, we know that the last 45 minutes are for us. “When it is five games left, the pressure is imminent. We cannot run away from the pressure now. I cannot run away from pressure, the boys cannot. With five games left, even the officials are under pressure,” said Mpatane.
