Tlokweng: Gaborone United (GU) completed their double against Masitaoka in a Botswana Premier League (BPL) match played at the Royal Aria Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds went home 2-0 winners, the same score line they registered against the Molepolole-based side in the first round of the campaign.

GU's victory kept them in the race for the title and they remain five points behind log leaders, Jwaneng Galaxy who also registered a 2-0 win over Mogoditshane Fighters on Saturday. Head coach, Pontsho Moloi still remains hopeful that they will catch up with log leaders. “As for the race for the league title, we can only play our games and that is all we can do.
