Lioli restore pride
Lioli players
Tse Nala reclaimed their pride beating LDF in their own backyard, Ha Ratjomose. Very early into the game Lioli’s Sello Sekike missed a clear chance to put his side ahead hitting the post behind goal-minder Teboho Ratibisi. New addition to the team Luciano Matsoso, almost drew the first blood when he took a set-piece that was cleverly cleared from the danger zone by Lebona Malebanye.
It was only on the 43rd minute that Sekike redeemed himself and made up for his earlier slip-up to put Lioli in the lead.
Just before the resumption of the second half, Matsoso was booked for a verbal altercation with match officials, becoming the second Lioli player to be booked in the afternoon - Tumelo Makha had also been yellow carded earlier for an argument with opponents.

Moments later Sekike completed his brace when he caught Ratibisi off-guard to double their lead, a goal that seemed to put the goalkeeper in the firing from his bench – accused of “being careless at the posts.”
Things turned from bad to worse on the hour mark when Makha converted a penalty after Sekike was fouled in the box, but Thabang Rabi had one of his own too and a consolation for the army side, he put one shot behind Jersey Matsie in the 74th minute.
Four minutes later Mafa Moremoholo fouled Letsie in the box and LDF were awarded a penalty. Rabi took the responsibility but was denied by Matsie.
In the dying minutes of the game, Malebanye put the final nail on LDF’s coffin, netting a deflected ball from a shot made by a sub Diutlwileng Molefe Boikanyo to make it 4 for Lioli.
