Rejuvenated TAFIC defeated Calendar Stars 2-1 to remain a contender for automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Coach Saulos said they are taking one game at a time. "I do not want to put my players under unnecessary pressure. I am happy that my players are now motivated and happy. That was not the case when I arrived at the beginning of the season," said Saulos.
His counterpart, Vincent Chikumba, whose team led the game for the better part of the match blamed his charges' lack of decisiveness when dealing with fast crosses from TAFIC' s wings and substitutes.
Chikumba said his team's vision is to win automatic promotion to the Premier League. TAFIC won the tightly contested game after Modise Modipe scored in each half. TAFIC had missed a penalty in the first half but managed to get all the important points through the pacey Modipe.
They are currently sitting at the summit of the league table with 14 points from six matches and yet to lose a match so far while Calendar stars are sixth with seven points from five matches.
The teams: TAFIC: Abednico Morapedi, Thamani Muzila, Ntwakgolo Galemonwe, Shawn Phillip, Nenguba Chakalisa, Nigel Gurire, Mothusi Fanyana, Batisani Mochauza, Modise Modipe, Mompoloki Xhaubayilo, Nicolas Batlang Calendar Stars: Webster jinja, Mooketsi Chiwini, Farai Nelson, Onkarabile Caiphus, Fida Omphile, Doubt Sibanda, Kago Sibanda, Mmilili Isaac, Yashe Dambe, Lucky Simon, Uyapo Tibathuwe
