Jun 6, 2019

The Zebras made it 2 wins out of 2 in the 2019 COSAFA Cup to advance to the finals. Botswana defeated Lesotho by 2 goals to 1 yesterday at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, Kwazulu Nata, South Africa.

The Zebras scored early through a Joel Mogorosi’s header in the 7th minute of the game. The second goal came before the half time break, through Segolame Boy’s brilliant grass cutter to put Mpote’s boys ahead by 2 goals.

“I’m proud of the boys. It was a game of two halves… It was a good game. We played through the phases, ” said coach Mogomotse Mpote.

Botswana dominated ball position but lapsed in the 80th minute as Lesotho pulled one back, but the Zebras managed to hold them to the final whistle.

Mothusi Cooper scooped the man of the match award. His electric play and crucial assist to Joel Mogorosi for the first goal set the Zebras on their way to the COSAFA Cup 2019 Final, where they will face Zambia.
