Ghanaian midfielder Caleb Ofori Manu delivered a commanding performance as Matebele FC recorded their first win of the Botswana Premier League season, defeating their opponents 2-0 to lift themselves out of the relegation zone.
The 22-year-old, who joined Matebele in the summer from Italian side ASD Terni FC, was instrumental in midfield, breaking up play, dictating tempo, and showcasing his trademark composure under pressure.
Ofori’s presence provided the platform for the team to dominate key moments of the match, earning valuable points and easing the pressure.
The victory comes as a huge relief, who had endured a difficult start to life in the dugout with five winless games prior to this triumph.
Matebele’s win propels them to 13th place on the table with eight points after ten matches, as they look to build on their renewed confidence ahead of their next clash against Nico United.
For Ofori Manu, the result marks another step forward in what is shaping up to be a breakthrough season. His growing influence in Botswana’s top flight suggests that the young Ghanaian is fast becoming a key figure in Matebele’s push for stability and survival.
