MASERU- Despite coming out as 2-1 victors over Bokamoso C. Ladies, Lijabatho Ladies assistant coach was adamant that they could have done better. Sekake Sebilo believes that had they not undermined their opponent, they could have played better and scored more goals. “Our players came into game with an attitude, undermining Bokamoso,” Sebilo said after their victory. “Their mentality was negative, and they dropped their game to the level of Bokamoso,” he continued.

Bokamoso pulled one back just moments before the 70th minute from a well taken free kick, and that is when Lijabatho started to panic, making several unnecessary mistakes. But their effor...
