Gaborone United's (GU) head coach, Pontsho Moloi, believes his side is on the right course after registering the second straight win over the weekend.

The Reds beat rookies, VTM FC 2-0 in a Botswana Premier League (BPL) game played at the National Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Forward Thatayaone Kgamanyane had a goal in each half to become the second player to bag a brace this season after Segolame Boy of Township Rollers.
