Chadibe took a first minute lead but TAFIC were unmatched on the day. Before their late goal, they had 18 shots on target. Modipe, who has directly contributed 10 goals and four assists this season, has missed two league games in a row. He missed the match against Mbalakalungu two weeks ago and the weekend encounter against Chadibe. He was absent against Mbalakalungu amid reports that he has been suspended for sustaining a knock while playing social football during the Easter holidays. On Saturday he was sidelined because he is carrying a slight injury, said the coach. This is despite the fact that he was training for the whole week. “We are missing our top striker and top goal scorer. We can feel his absence but we must work with what we have. The players who have come in have done relatively very well. We will have him when he is fit. He will be back very soon, but we indeed missing him,” Sonny said.
TAFIC have accumulated 42 points and now need one to secure promotion to the Premier League. Sonny has emphasised that there is need to focus in the last two fixtures. TAFIC will play Motlakase Power Dynamos this weekend before their last game is against Peace Makers at home. Chadibe coach Joseph Banyatsi believes their game was well executed although they never had much of the ball. “We wanted the three points, but we are fine with the point we have got. We have a very good chance of qualifying for the play offs and we must keep focused. We have the ability to reach the play-offs and we will fight until the end,” said Sonny.
