Posted by: admin : Category: Soccer news
Botswana moved closer to its first ever appearance at the African Cup of Nations with a 2-1 victory over Togo on Saturday in the 2012 tournament qualifiers.
Jerome Ramatlhakwane scored the winner in the 55th minute, just five minutes after an equalizer from Togos Serge Fiakpe. Winger Joel Mogorosi had put Botswana ahead in the fifth minute at the University of Botswana stadium.
Botswana coach Stanley Tshosane said: “I am very happy. I have no words to describe my joy.”
His team leads Group K with 10 points from four games.
Second-place Tunisia has three points from two games, before taking on Malawi in a late fixture on Saturday.
