Police XI bank on healthy goal difference

The Jungle Kings are eyeing a quick return to the elite league after biting the dust in the previous campaign. The team enhanced their promotion chances with a 2-0 win over Taung Young Strikers in a First Division South League tie played at the Otse Stadium on Wednesday afternoon. A first half brace from Karabo Kelatlhilwe handed the team a massive three points at home.

Kelatlhilwe headed Takudzwa Bande’s pinpoint cross after 15 minutes to give his side the lead. He got his brace six minutes later as he drilled one to the bottom corner to make it 2-0. The cops missed a number of chances, especially in the dying minutes but Madivenga was happy to keep their promotion chase on course. Police XI remains three points in the lead as they climbed to 39 points following the midweek ties. Young Stars and Magosi FC are breathing on their neck, three and six points behind the leaders, respectively. The pair also maintained their chase after recording wins in midweek.
