Maseru - Lesotho senior soccer side, Likuena, completed a double over Sihlangu Semnikati of eSwatini during two international friendly games played at Setsoto Stadium and in Mapotsoe. In the first match played on Sunday, Likuena narrowly beat Isihlangu Semnikati 1-0, through Jane Thabantso's solitary goal, and on Monday they won 2-0 in Mapotsoe.

The Likuena head coach Mr. Moses Maliehe said he was happy with the performance of his players, but he believes there is still room for improvement. “The players stuck to the game plan and did what we discussed prior to the match. We are now ready to face Cape Verde in the official African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier,” he commented.

He said Matlama players, Sera ‘Nyepetsi’ Motebang and Mabuti Potloane, both scored in the first half of the game to seal a back-to-back victory over the visitors. The coach said Cambodia based Tšotleho Jane also played against eSwatini and showed glimpses of fitness and sharpness, adding that the ABSA Premiership based trio of Tumelo 'Makhopo' Khutlang, Tsoarelo Bereng and Luciano Matsoso were expected in the country yesterday.
