Junior Boys Dominate Labyrinth FC In League Clash

In a compelling league encounter on 11 May 2025, Labyrinth Football Club faced off against Junior Boys at the Dinie Estate Rustenburg, with the visitors emerging victorious with a scoreline of 2-0. The match kicked off at 3:00pm, and despite a spirited effort from Labyrinth, they were unable to find the back of the net.

Labyrinth lined up in a traditional 4-4-2 formation, which saw Thabiso Nthako in goal, flanked by a back four consisting of Monchusi Motlhatswi on the right, Rebaone Molekwa and Tshepo Jacobs in central defence, and Lesedi Mogorosi on the left. The midfield was structured with Kaelo Phillis on the right, Jacob Zimba and Thato Moseneke occupying central roles, and Mogorosi Katane on the left. Up front, the attacking duo of Mogomotsi Motene and Thabang Pule were tasked with leading the line. The substitutes included Amogelang Lesedi, who would later be introduced into the fray.

The match began with both teams probing for an early advantage, but it was Junior Boys who struck first in the 26th minute. A well-placed shot from inside the box found the net, sending a wave of excitement through their supporters. Labyrinth, now trailing, sought to respond quickly but struggled to break down a resolute Junior Boys defence.

As the first half progressed, Junior Boys doubled their lead in the 39th minute with a stunning long-range strike. The ball sailed past Nthako, leaving him with little chance to react, and the visitors took a commanding 2-0 lead into the half-time break. Labyrinth, despite their efforts, found themselves on the back foot and needed a tactical rethink to salvage the match.

The second half saw Labyrinth make their first substitution in the 58th minute, bringing on Amogelang Lesedi for Mogomotsi Motene in an attempt to inject fresh energy into their attack. The change aimed to bolster their offensive capabilities as they sought to claw back the deficit.

Despite their best efforts and a spirited performance, Labyrinth could not find a way through the Junior Boys' defence, who remained organised and disciplined throughout the match. The referee, Paul Sabastan, ensured the game flowed smoothly, allowing both teams to express themselves while maintaining control of proceedings.

As the final whistle blew, Labyrinth Football Club was left to reflect on a disappointing afternoon, having failed to convert their chances into goals. Junior Boys celebrated their well-earned victory, having executed their game plan effectively and taken all three points from the encounter.
