In the last kick of the game, Lebogang Ditsele scored to deny his former team the city bragging rights as Township Rollers and Gaborone United played to a 1-1 in a Botswana Premier League match played at the National Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

We deserved to win the match and how it ended is beyond us. The time that was set for everyone to see was long gone so how it went to extra time we need the God of football to tell us. Tomorrow they will feel the pain we are feeling now.
