STARS ABROAD Duncan Otieno fails to rescue Gaborone United as SuperSport United secure convincing victory
Kenyan Duncan Otieno's return from injury falls short as SuperSport United secures a dominant 3-0 win over Gaborone United.
In their initial outing on October 7, the Reds had to settle for a goalless draw on the road, leaving Moloi keen to see his charges hit the ground running against their historically challenging opponents, Morupule Wanderers.
Despite the early stumble, Moloi remains optimistic, stating, "The preparations have gone well, and we have to go all out to win the game. Morupule Wanderers always give us a tough time, and we are looking forward to an exciting game. I am happy that the players who were injured [and missed Nico United game] have recovered."

One of the challenges facing Gaborone United is the disruption caused by the international break immediately following the season opener.
"It's disappointing because it breaks the momentum. The only positive is that we have our players back from injury," he noted.

However, the team will have to navigate the upcoming fixture without two key players—central defender Kennedy Amutenya and striker Onkabetse Makgantai.
Both have been suspended by the club until further notice due to disciplinary issues. Gaborone United, known for its stringent stance against any form of indiscipline, is sending a clear message that adherence to the club's values is non-negotiable, regardless of the players' stature within the squad.
As the spotlight falls on Duncan Otieno, the Kenyan international is expected to play a crucial role in anchoring Gaborone United's defence and dictating the tempo of the game.
