even though Seychelles seemed to fight their way to equalize but were denied the chance. Makateng scored the third goal for Likuena in 77 minutes after Seychelles’ goalkeeper Alvin
Michael made a run to catch the ball, only to find himself outside the penalty area so he let it pass him because if he did catch it, he was going to catch a red
card. It passed him then found Makateng on the other side. That is how easily he scored the third goal even though Seychelles defenders did make a harsh contact
causing his injury and therefore was replaced by Tumelo Khutlang. Likuena has 4 points after two matches where they drew for away match and won for home
