Matebele send Chiefs warning ahead of derby

Matebele FC kicked off their campaign with an emphatic 4-1 victory on Wednesday against former Premier League side, Uniao Flamengo Santos. The newcomers are currently perched at the top of the log standings with a healthy goal difference.

The match against Santos was rescheduled to Wednesday following heavy rains, which forced four other fixtures to be abandoned on Saturday. When their match was stopped in the 40th-minute on Saturday, Matebele and Santos were tied at 2-2 after the new boys allowed the former Coca-Cola Cup winners to come back from two goals down. However, they were not about to repeat the same mistakes on Wednesday and sent early warning signs to fellow First Division campaigners. The club boasts some of the most experienced players in their books among them Monageng Thaele, Obonwe Moswate, Kemmy Pilato and Bobby Motlhabankwe.
