Bantu reclaim top spot

MASERU – Bantu have reclaimed the Vodacom Premier League top spot after beating Galaxy 3-0 on Sunday.

Mafeteng giants have now collected 14 points from seven games and are level with Lijabatho, only goal difference separates the two teams.

Goals from Lehlohonolo Fothoane, Sentle Masale and an own goal ensured ‘A Matšo Matebele’ will spend the week on top of the log.

On Sunday, Bantu will take on the defending champions Matlama at Setsoto stadium in a highly anticipated league game, if they win they will open a gap between them and the champions.

Matlama fell to a shocking 1-0 defeat on Saturday against Lijabatho in Morija, while it is still early in the season and cannot be written off yet, the champions do not control their destiny at the moment.

Matlama will likely have a new man on their technical bench after the resignation of Mothobi Molebatsi who was assaulted by a supporter on Saturday.

It remains to be seen how his departure will affect the club going forward and their ambitions to retain their title.

In other games, Lioli were held to a goalless draw by Machokha, ‘Tse Nala’ are now on two game winless run and have been inconsistent since the beginning of the season and find themselves 9^th on the log with 11 points.

Lesotho Mounted Police Service (LMPS) continued with their struggles in front of goals and were also held to a goalless draw by Lifofane in Butha-Buthe.

Lesotho Correctional Service (LCS) likewise could not find their way around bottom place Manonyane and had to settle for a point.
