Zebras Start COSAFA With A Win

May 29, 2018

Zebras Captain Alphonso Modisaotsile hailed his players’ performance as they claimed a first-ever win over Angola. The Zebras claimed a 2-1 victory in their opening Group B game at the COSAFA Cup yesterday.

Kabelo Seakanyeng and Onkabetse Makgantai grabbed first-half goals as the Zebras made a winning start.

“It was a tough game, but we planned to go early on Angola and the plan worked well since we did a very good management of the game. To score two quick goals was key as we destabilized their plans and management of the game. I believe the boys could have scored more but we wasted too many chances, we go back to the drawing board to insure we can close the group in the second game.

For his part, Man of the Match Kabelo Seakanyeng said their efforts are at winning the group and anything else will be secondary. He said they won’t be doing any talking but trying to gunner support by winning. Botswana is next in action on Wednesday when we play Malawi at the Seshego Stadium, Major Bright’s and the boys are expected to go into that game confident as they have now won 3 games on the trot.
