Seshego stadium came alive during its official reopening on Saturday afternoon.

And Magesi FC wasted little time in registering an emphatic 2-0 victory over an equally competitive Cape Town City in a pulsating Betway Premier Soccer League encounter.

The much-need victory could be a morale booster for Magesi, who have been on a losing streak since their promotion to topflight football.

The hosts used home advantage well playing in front of a motivating crowd that packed the pavilion to the rafters.

Magesi opened their scoring in the first stanza through a penalty netted by Moedi Vandala in the 30th minute.

Coach Owen da Gama’s charges continued to hurl missiles at the City goal but Darren Keet was not easily penetrable.

The veteran shot stopper produced acrobatic save after acrobatic save to deny Magesi the route to the back of the net.

The two sides went to the recess with Magesi leading by a single goal.

Magesi capitalised on goalmouth melee in the second half to increase their tally via a Lehlogonolo Mokone close range shot.

The triumphant Magesi demonstrated an extraordinary flair of focussed exuberance as welcome to the fans as rain to the dehydrated hinterlands.

Although they should have scored an avalanche of goals, their victory reignited the spirit of their loyal fans. The long-suffering faithful had expressed displeasure about the team’s poor form in the elite league for a while.
