Mpatane cautious despite Magosi good run

Chiefs secured a 2-1 hard fought victory over Chadibe North FC at the Old Francistown Council Stadium on Saturday, extending their unbeaten streak to five games with four wins and a draw. The Kgatleng-based side currently leads the league standings with 13 points, sparking speculation among fans and football stakeholders that the club might win the league. However, Mpatane remains grounded and has emphasised that his troops should remain humble and focused.

“It is still early to think about the prospects of winning the league. We must take it one game at a time. I cannot say we will not stumble at some point. We will lose some matches but what is important is to collect as many points as we can,” he said in a post-match interview with SportMonitor. The former Eleven Angels coach added that winning the league is not even part of his mandate this season. “The president of the team has given me an outright mandate of finishing in the Top 8, which is achievable given the type of players we have. Anything beyond the Top 8 will be a bonus,” Mpatane said.
