GU remain unbeaten :: Mmegi Online

TLOKWENG: Gaborone United (GU) have stretched their unbeaten run to four games with a 1-0 win over Masitaoka in a Botswana Premier League encounter played at the Royal Aria Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The match had to be delayed by 30 minutes and kicked off at 5pm due to rainy weather conditions. Under wet conditions, it took more than 10 minutes for either side to have a sight at goal. In the 11th minute, defender Fortune Thulare found himself in the final third but could not direct his attempt towards the goalposts.

Eight minutes later, Walter Mukanga had a freekick attempt easily saved by Goitseone Phoko. The Reds had their first sight at goal in the 23rd minute with Obonwe Maome's freekick parried away for a corner by Katlego Mbise. GU broke the deadlock in the 37th minute as Thatayaone Kgamanyane tucked in from a close range. It was the attacker's fifth goal in four league outings. The goal breathed some life into the game with Masitaoka looking for an equaliser. However, the Reds held on to take a goal lead into the half time break.
