By Mohau Ramashidja

Super League’s number one Super Eleven FC Suffered a 3–0 defeat against the home side Kgotlelelang Soccer Academy FC last Sunday. Having finished off the last season being nowhere near the top Three, Kgotlelelang entered this season with a different mind-set. “Our mind-set is very different compared to last season. And we have proven that because we managed to beat Two for Joy FC 6–2 in our previous match,” said Kgotlelelang’s reserve side coach Mpho Mabena.

Aware of the fact that Super Eleven were giant slayers, Kgotlelelang fought with all it had to avoid being victims. As both sides paid each other casual visits in to the 18 yard in search for goals, it was Kgotlelelang’s attacking midfielder Siphiwe ‘Play Station’ Khomu who scored a sizzling free kick outside the 18 yard in the 27^th minute.

Entering into the second half Super Eleven sought for any loopholes to penetrate, but it was Kgotlelelang who remain cool in their back four. As the home crowd was dazzled by their team’s performance, Kgotlelelang picked up momentum producing impressive passes and showing off fancy footwork at the expense of the opponents.

Determined to keep their opposition on a goal chase, Kgotlelelang’s striking force surged forward in search for a goal. And it was on the 54^th minute that Marvellous ‘Cow’ Khoza nailed in a superb shot outside the 18 yard.

While a 2–0 lead severed as a moral boaster for the home side, signs of fatigue started to show in the side of the visitors. Although Super Eleven were two goals down, it was captain fantastic Keabetswe ‘Nani’ Molemoge who penetrated the opposition’s defence leaving three players trailing behind him, one suffering from contraction cramps.

Aware of the potential threat, Nani was now given full attention by the opposition’s back for. And it was Kgotlelelang’s midfielder Thabo baloyi who had no problem of scoring the last goal of the match.

Happy with the 3–0 results, Kgotlelelang’s head coach Tshepo Lekalakala shared in to Kgotlelelang’s intention this season. “This is a slaughter house. We don’t want to lose home games and I’m happy that we managed to beat one of the best teams in the league,” He Said.
