Rollers vs Sua. PIC PHATSIMO KAPENG

Just a weekend into December, Sua Flamingoes’ goalkeeper, Keletso Lekuni on Friday night made a costly mistake which handed Township Rollers a 1-0 win in a Premier League match played at the National Stadium.

The match was evenly contested until the 22nd minute when Lekuni misplaced his pass unto Siphamandla Sangweni’s path and the striker unselfishly passed the ball to Mogakolodi Ngele. The latter had the easiest job as he buried the ball into the net in what was a match defining moment. Neither of the two sides had a good start and Lekuni’s costly mistake proved to be the big difference. Two minutes after goal, Tendai Nyumasi was afforded space in the box but his headed effort went widely while on the other end, Segolame Boy directed his shot widely off the post. Thabo Rakhale came closer for Rollers but his shot was parried away for a corner from inside the box. Popa carried a 1-0 lead into the halftime break.
