Both Makwata and Otieno did not feature in the matchday squad; Otieno is recovering from an injury, while Makwata has fallen out of favour at the club, and his future has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks.Gaborone head coach Pontsho Piro Moloi said that his team now shifts its focus to the FA Cup final against Orapa.”It’s been a long season; we can’t be hard on ourselves because we finish the season in the second spot and we are in the final of the Orange FA Cup. I am happy with the overall input of the players, and today we gave a chance to our youngsters. We’ll continue to see them more in the future,” he said.He reserved some praise for the supporters who have been behind the team throughout the season.”The supporters deserve credit because they pushed us throughout the season. I know that there are games where they were not happy, but it’s football. We would like to thank them for rallying behind us, let’s do it once more for the last time in the FA Cup final.”Shabana continue FKFPL promotion charge with win over Kibera Black Stars
