The first game ended in a nail-biting 1–1 draw, with both teams playing a good game. The second match, however, belonged to FC Munich, as they clinched a 2–1 victory, cementing their strength and strategy.

“The challenge about the match was that there are new players that have been integrated into the team. It was sort of a trial for most of them – so gelling the new players and giving out instructions as to how our team plays in terms of structure and style was a challenge,” said Tshose.

He plays left back and right back as soon as he hits the pitch. His excitement for the upcoming season is palpable, and his willingness to lead his team to promotion from the Hollywoodbets Regional League to the ABC Motsepe League can also be seen in his eyes.

“Another challenge was adjusting to two positions. Initially, I was playing left back and I played right back before I went back to left back again,” he added.
