Jwaneng Galaxy have successfully defended their Orange FA Cup title with a 2-0 win over Security Systems in a final played at the National Stadium on Friday evening.

The game was characterised by player squabbles, dismissals, floodlights issues and muti accusations as Galaxy scored two extra time goals in a final that served both the good and the bad of local football.

The tie had an electrifying start as Galaxy’s Dynamo Fredericks had his shot saved by the keeper on the fourth minute before Victor James pulled two saves to deny Systems on the eighth minute. Systems came closer to the opener with Kenanao Kgetholetsile on the 16th minute and Tshepo Keselebale on the 28th minute. The defending champions also came close to opener just before the half time break but the Systems’ defense came up tops. It was 0-0 at the break after an intense opening half.
