What an amazing player she is,\u201d Tshabalala said after Rabale scored a brace against City Lads.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on her impressive run with Sundowns, Rabale stated that the motivation is to win every game they play. Rabale has already lifted the Hollywoodbets Super League title twice, the COSAFA title and the CAF Champions League since joining Sundowns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter what, at the end of every 90 minutes, we have to get the three points and that is what pushes me to put an extra effort to help the team win its matches,\u201d the Mehalalitoe skipper stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to be ruthless and not drop points unnecessarily to go all the way to successfully defend our league title.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an individual, I would love to win the player of the season or top goal scorer accolades and the collective goal is to defend our league title, win the COSAFA Women\u2019s Championship as well as the CAF Women\u2019s Champions league,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Rabale was last season crowned the Hollywoodbets Super League Player of the Season after scoring 24 goals but contributed 27-goals in all competition for Sundowns Ladies.<\/p>\n<p>She was named in the Team of the Tournament at both the COSAFA Women\u2019s Championship as well as the CAF Women\u2019s Champions league played in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and Rabat, Morocco, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
