Gilport Lions Hold Chiefs

Lions’ David Makakaba and Sekgabo Molebatsi faced their former side. Another former chiefs player, Kenamile Mani was in the starting line-up. Coach Paradzayi Mandivenga was in charge for the first time after being granted a work permit. The nomadic, Dirang ‘Malam’ Moloi, was also in the starting line-up of the defending champions, replacing Tendai Nyumasi. Lesego Molemogi, another new signee, awaited his debut on the bench.

Magosi started by controlling the game with more possessions, using their usual carpet football while Lions devised a strategy of counter attacks, using their speedy wingers: Makakaba and Chrispen Mbewe.
