MAJATLHAGA LOSE FIRST LEAGUE GAME OF THE SEASON.

Molepolole based side Masitaoka FC ended the 2019/20 season as League Champions of

Debswana First Division South, therefore gaining automatic promotion to Premier League for the

first time ever in the club’s history.

The historical day was the 30th of October 2021 at the National Stadium when Majatlhaga faced

Mogoditshane Fighters in the opening fixture of the 2021/22 season. Majatlhaga started the

game on a high note and dominated large spells of the clash, but fell to a 1-0 defeat at the end

of the game.

High press from Masitaoka resulted to the first open chance of the game that fell to Bakang

Tsholang but the right winger’sshot went wide. Fighters responded by taking the lead on the 29th

minute of the game and Majatlhaga went to the break trailing.

In the second half Fighters did more of the defending work as Masitaoka pressed them in their

own half fighting their way back into the game. Eleven minutes into the second half Head Coach

Nelson Olebile made two changes bringing in striker Christopher Lemme and speedy winger

Kobamelo Kebaikanye, taking out Bakang Tsholang and Ototeng Dintwa. Playing with two strikers

(Patrick Kaunda & Christopher Lemme) was a tough challenge for Fighters defence as Kaunda

saw his header from Aobakwe Radikolana’s cross being cleared off the goal line.
