We will make it difficult in Okahandja - Gariseb

-

OKAHANDJA - Okahandja United Football Club coach Richard Gariseb said their goal for the 2022/23 Debmarine Namibia Premiershi­p is to collect maximum points in every match that will be played at their home ground.

Okahandja United won their first match of the season on Saturday when they put Otjiwarong­o-based Mighty Gunners to the sword with a 2-1 victory at the Nau-Aib Football Stadium in Okahandja.

After a dominant display in the first half, where all their goals were scored, Gariseb told Nampa that he was satisfied with the match and his players’ performanc­e.

“We know players have been off for three years, so we did not expect the best performanc­e today. We plan to cement our position in the premier league this season by collecting three points from whoever comes,” Gariseb said, adding that they will make life difficult for whoever visits Okahandja.

Stanley Scheffers, Okahandja United’s captain told this agency that he was happy for the three points but their goal is to gain more points from each match this season and hopefully challenge for the premier league title.

Mighty Gunners coach Gerhard Hengari, said they only started training this week but that cannot be used as an excuse for their defeat.

“Unfortunat­ely, we did not get the goals as we had a better second half, but we are going back to training to correct our mistakes. We aim to challenge for the title
