Marumo Gallants put on a gallant performance against Al-Akhdar.

Marumo Gallants continued with their winning ways in the CAF Confederations Cup with a 4-1 drubbing of Libyan side, Al-Akhdar yesterday in their opening group stage match.

Former Kaizer Chiefs attacker, Joseph Malongoane was amongst the scorers, with the other goals coming from Ranga Chivaviro (brave), and Lesiba Nku.

Gallant’s win follows their 3-1 Nedbank Cup triumph over Magesi. Suddenly they have found their scoring boots since Dan Malesela was put on leave.

Hopefully they can transfer their recent form to where it matters most, the league.
