Ghanaian midfielder Caleb Ofori Manu played a key role as Matebele FC picked up their first victory of the Botswana Premier League season.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old, known for his physical presence and intelligent interceptions, anchored the midfield impressively as Matebele edged past their opponents 2-0 to climb out of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

Ofori, who joined the club in the summer on a two-year deal from Italian side ASD Terni FC, has gradually established himself as one of the team\u2019s most consistent performers this campaign.<\/p>\n

The victory eases pressure on former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder and current head coach Reneilwe Letsholonyane, who had not won any of his first five matches.<\/p>\n

The win moves Matebele to 13th place with eight points after ten matches, ahead of their next fixture against Nico United.<\/p>\n

Ofori will be hoping to build on this momentum and help his side continue their rise in the top flight.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
