Township Rollers will represent Botswana in Caf Champions League next season after they humiliated Mochudi Center Chiefs 5-1 in re-scheduled play-off match played at Lobatse Sports Complex on Thursday 11th August 2016.
Mochudi Center Chiefs FC started the match on a low note as compared to their opponents, who looked hungry and ready to bag the premiership title and earn the right to represent Botswana in Caf Champions League next year.
It took Township Rollers 36 minutes to hit the target with a nice goal slotted home by Terrance Mandaza following a quick break.
Center Chiefs could have equalized almost five minutes later but Jabu Pilane effort was disappointing, and it could have been a costly miss as Terrance Mandaza who doubled the lead in the 46 minute with well taken shot to his second goal of the match.
Matters become worse for Mochudi Center Chiefs in the second half with Rollers pushing more attack with Mpo Kagwasane deflecting ball to his own net with his own goal making it 3-0.
Mochudi seemed to be re-energized after that goal but their back line could not hold much heat with danger man Segolame Boy hitting the back of the net with a nice shot in 80th minute to make it 4-0.Three minutes later Simisami Mathumo added his name to the score sheet to make it 5-0.
Centre Chiefs registered a consolation goal in the 90th minute with Jabu Pilane pulling a nice goal to make it 5-1.
The decisive match brought to an end the Nato saga that had rocked Botswana football for months ahead of Football Association elections slated for Saturday.
