The mighty Zebras returned to winning ways on Saturday at the Lobatse Sports Complex after two quick Second-half goals from Segolame Boy and Thatayaone Dithokwe, who scored his first Zebras goal in only his second cap for the team.

National team Captain Joel Mogorosi says the win was needed as the team had not won in a long time and that it was important that the team take control of the tie. Mogorosi says the new crop of players at the National team are committed and a talented group that will be fighting hard to prove to the country that they deserve to represent them.

The Zebras will play Seychelles again in a fortnight away in the second leg of the two-legged affair with the Zebras carrying a healthy 2-0 lead. Caretaker coach Mogomotsi Mpote also highlighted that winning without giving an away goal to Seychelles will make their job less stressful in Seychelles in a fortnight from Saturday.
