Tsakani – The U13 friendly game between the Kopano FC and ST Manu played out at the Ext 5 Police Station ground on April 27.
The action-filled game started energetically, with both aiming for a win.
“The game was fast-paced and tough. Both our teams were beyond eager to win the games and created opportunities for themselves. As a coach, I kept them motivated and encouraged teamwork and ongoing communication,” explained coach Tisetso Mofokeng.
