MOLEPOLOLE: Nico United's head coach, Philani Ncube bemoaned amateurish goalkeeping after his side lost 2-1 to Masitaoka in a Botswana Premier League (BPL) tie played on Saturday.

Nico surrendered a 1-0 lead as Masitaoka struck late to collect all three points. Majambolo are now one of the worst travellers in the league with just four points from a possible 24 on the road. “All the two goals, we lacked the basic goalkeeping. In the first place, a mature goalkeeper was not supposed to concede that stupid corner kick.

At the same time he was not supposed to concede that second goal again,” Ncube said after the game. “There are some things that I cannot mention in the media, but I have accepted the result as it is and his mistakes as they are and go back to the drawing board.
