The Midweek Sun

Down to the wire

It was something of an unexpected result, with many experts and fans admiring the scintillat­ing form of Holy Ghost going into the match. However, the victorious Magosi wont be celebratin­g their 1-0 win long into the night as there is still plenty to play for.

Although their win takes them to 39 points, two points away from the leaders, Holy Ghost who have gathered 41 points, both teams still have to negotiate victories in the coming two weeks.

The fans in Mochudi are getting ready to give the squad a much needed boost with songs and cheers as an enthrallin­g journey to the climax of the league continues against the lowly ranked Motaung Young Fighters and Red Sparks in the coming two weeks.

Magosi’s legion of supporters have followed them throughout their campaign and will be expecting the pomp and fanfare to continue in the remaining two fixtures as the 12th man will be more important than ever for the Kgatleng giants who last tasted elite football back in 2019.

On the other side, Holy Ghost’s conquest in the league and their ambitions to play in the elite Botswana Football League (BFL) for the first time in the club’s history can never go unnoticed; the team has been a force to reckon with, sweeping opponents aside with ease.

Mid table side, Matebejana will also try to spoil the mood of Holy Ghost and dent their journey toward automatic promotion.

The next hurdle to be overcome on the title charge for them is a game against relegation threatened Taung Young Strikers. The high-flying outfit should have little trouble in collecting the three points from this encounter. However, the leaders need to make sure they don’t slip against a team they’re strong favourites to sweep aside. Anything less than a win would hand the initiative to the chasing pack which involves both Black Forest and Matebele who are well within reach.
