GU chasing a double
The team is running after the Orange FA Cup and are also two games short of lifting the BFL league title.
After consistently performing to high level all season, Gaborone United is now a few steps from claiming the league title.
Their triumph in big games and dominance against small teams has been the core of their journey this season.
Although the reward for hard work and captivating football should be trophies, the team has consistently impressed and made a statement to fellow competitors that they can win all trophies on offer this season.
The Money Machine has been astonishingly powerful in display, both in the Orange FA Cup and the Botswana Football League ( BFL); they emerged victorious in their back to back
Orange FA cup games scoring a combined 11 goals against Motaung Young Fighters and Calendar Stars in the last 32 and 16 respectively. Moyagoleele won 6- 1 against Motaung Young Fighters and 5- 0 against Calendar stars, the team led by Innocent Morapedi made a statement that they are a true force to be reckoned with in local football.
The next hurdle to be overcome on the charge to defend the trophy is a game against a hot and cold Police XI in the quarterfinals of the Orange FA Cup; although Police has been a tough opponent for the team, it remains to be seen if they can toss them out of the prestigious tournament.
Moreover, in the league, the high- flying outfit should have little trouble in collecting the six points from their next two encounters that will hand them the league title.
However, the leaders need to make sure they don’t slip up as anything less than a win would give hope to the chasing pack which includes Township Rollers, Jwaneng Galaxy and Orapa United.
With their decorated play, the Money Machine has been organised in all their departments this season, with a consistent performance from a rich and well nurtured defense. Their midfield has been able to hold water all season long. In attacking areas, they have had Obonwe Maome sparking all the creativity while Thatayaone Kgamanyane, Kekaetswe Moloi and Thero Setsile never shied away from taking their chances.
