FRANCISTOWN: Thabang Sesinyi scored in the referee’s optional time to revive Jwaneng Galaxy’s hopes of advancing in the CAF Champions League game against Tunisian giants, Étoile du Sahel at the Obert Itani Chilume Stadium on Saturday.

Sesinyi, who is Galaxy’s top goal scorer was lively throughout the game and equalised to earn his team a valuable point in their 1-1 draw against Étoile. The draw against Étoile pushed Galaxy to the bottom of Group C in the Champions’ League with one point from two games following their 4-0 drubbing at the hands of another Tunisian giants, Espérance S. de Tunis.

Étoile tormented the hosts from the start of the match and found a goal in the 14th minute through a corner kick from Youssef Laouffi which found Ivorian striker Souleymane Coulibaly who nodded home with a ferocious header that left Galaxy goalkeeper, Anthony Gouws with no chance. Galaxy started to play better in the second half with their South African striker Lucky Mokoena involved heavily in their attacks. Étoile goalkeeper, Aymen Methlouthi Balbouli did well to save Mokoena’s effort in the 19th minute. Galaxy continued to pile pressure on Étoile with Rudath getting behind the defence and lifting a shot over the cross bar with fans on up on their legs thinking that he had scored an equaliser.
