Youssouf’s Last-Minute Header Steals It for Magosi in Dramatic Finish!

GU Stadium | Friday Night | FNB Premiership

Mochudi Centre Chiefs claimed a crucial away victory on Friday night, defeating Black Lions FC 1–0 thanks to a dramatic 91st-minute winner from Youssouf. It was a result built on patience, discipline, and a willingness to fight until the final whistle.

The match opened at a high tempo, with both sides creating clear chances in a fiercely contested first half. Black Lions showed hunger and intensity, especially in the midfield battles, forcing Chiefs to absorb pressure and fight for rhythm.

With Brian Tafhi unavailable due to injury, Khuduga stepped in at left-back, while Hendrick Moyo and Gilbert Baruti returned to the starting XI, restoring experience and presence on both flanks.

As Black Lions continued to edge duels in the middle, Coach Piro made a key halftime adjustment, introducing Youssouf for Fortune and switching into a 4-4-2 diamond. The change brought more stability and clearer ball progression through the centre.

Further tactical reinforcement followed:

• Monty Enosa replaced Mpolokang (managing his yellow card and adding forward passing),
• Resa Thatanyane came on for Melgarejo to stretch the play,
• Kgotso Phuti replaced Mofokeng to strengthen control late in the match.

Chiefs began to assert themselves and push higher, but the finishing touch still eluded the team — until stoppage time.

In the 91st minute, Chiefs worked a throw-in short, feeding the ball to Gilbert Baruti near the centre of the pitch. Baruti lifted his head and delivered a deep, curling cross into the penalty area.

Youssouf rose above his marker, timing the leap perfectly, and guided a commanding header into the bottom corner.

A goal born of belief.
A goal crafted in training.
A goal worthy of Magosi.

From there, Chiefs managed the closing moments with composure, allowing no late threats and securing all three points.

The result lifts Mochudi Centre Chiefs to 3rd place on 19 points, just three behind log leaders Gaborone United, who play on the 8th.
