Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Vincent Marumo\u2019s 21st minute goal was enough to secure maximum points for Peacemakers against home-side Calendar Stars during a Debswana First Division North league clash played at the Calendron grounds in Francistown on Saturday.<\/b><\/p>\n

The lethal strike mid-first stanza was a result of poor defense that forced Calendar Stars\u2019 shot-stopper, Tanyaradzwa Ginger to try and intercept the composed Marumo who chipped the ball over and slotted into an empty net to give the Bobonong side the lead.<\/p>\n

Peacemakers missed a golden moment to increase the tally with Ginger well beaten but lady luck was not on their side as the shot went wide.<\/p>\n

Ten minutes later, Mogomotsi Madome failed to level matters for Stars from a free-kick as he blazed over the bar, much to the chagrin of the anxious Stars supporters who touted the home side to win.<\/p>\n

With a one-goal advantage over their opponents, Peacemakers seemed comfortable with the status quo.<\/p>\n

The Bobonong outfit \u2018parked the bus\u2019 and only attacked on the counter.<\/p>\n

Stars think-tank seemed to have run out of ideas to infiltrate the solid defense mounted by the visitors and were as such wasteful upfront.<\/p>\n

Because of the sweltering heat the players had to endure, the match referee allowed for a water break in the 30th minute before the game went into halftime with Peacemakers enjoying a 1-0 score margin.<\/p>\n

Save for a few moments of brilliance from the two sides, the second half failed to produce any goals.<\/p>\n

Peacemakers assistant coach, William Motsamai, was happy that his boys managed to collect maximum three points away from home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is gratifying that we collected the three points from a side that had always been a tough nut to crack for us.<\/p>\n

Yes, Calendar Stars fought back but our idea to score first and deal with their high balls worked wonders for us,\u201d he told BOPA in an interview.<\/p>\n

Dejected Stars coach, Vincent Chikumba described the weekend results as a bad start for his team mores it was the first game of the season and his side failed to take advantage of the home ground advantage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have disadvantaged ourselves and we need to take positives from the game. Peacemakers had two chances and scored a goal and we failed to score a single goal from an avalanche of opportunities that we created,\u201d he said, blaming it on the lack of composure in the opponent\u2019s box.<\/p>\n
