Terror Classic SC lined up in a traditional 4-4-2 formation, aiming to balance defensive solidity with attacking options. Dennis Matlho took his place between the sticks as goalkeeper. The back four consisted of Bino "Radio" Tumediso at right back, Thebe Mbakile and Kagiso Letsebe as central defenders, and Romeo Kelathegetswe on the left flank. In midfield, Tlhompho Kebitsang operated on the right wing, with Bokhutlo "Booster" Ntona and Kutlo Ntsima anchoring the centre of the park, while Junior Matlhagela provided width on the left. Up front, the strike partnership featured Jabari Matenge on the right and Abel Lefika Molefhi on the left. No substitutes were named for this fixture.

The first half unfolded with both sides probing cautiously, seeking to establish control in midfield. Terror Classic’s midfield duo, Ntona and Ntsima, were tasked with dictating tempo and linking play to the forwards, while the wide midfielders Kebitsang and Matlhagela aimed to supply crosses and stretch the opposition defence. Defensively, the full-backs Tumediso and Kelathegetswe were expected to support attacks but primarily to maintain defensive discipline alongside Mbakile and Letsebe.

Despite their efforts, Terror Classic found themselves trailing at the interval. The half-time whistle blew with the scoreline favouring Notwane FC, who had managed to carve out more clear-cut chances. The home side’s defensive line was tested repeatedly, and the central defenders had to be alert to Notwane’s attacking threats.

In the second half, Terror Classic pushed forward with greater urgency. The forwards Matenge and Molefhi combined well, creating openings and applying pressure on the Notwane defence. Midfielders Ntona and Ntsima worked tirelessly to regain possession and feed the attackers. Kebitsang and Matlhagela continued to provide width and attempted to deliver dangerous balls into the box.

Terror Classic managed to find the net twice, showing resilience and determination to claw back into the contest. However, Notwane FC’s attacking prowess proved decisive as they scored three goals in total, edging out the home side by a single goal margin.

Throughout the match, goalkeeper Dennis Matlho was kept busy, making several crucial saves to prevent a heavier defeat. The defensive unit, despite conceding three goals, showed moments of organisation and commitment. Midfielders, particularly Kutlo Ntsima, who was named player of the match, demonstrated skill and work rate, often driving the team forward and attempting to control the game’s rhythm.

Although no substitutions were made, the match provided valuable experience for Terror Classic SC as they prepare for the upcoming competitive fixtures. The narrow loss to Notwane FC highlighted areas for improvement, especially in defensive transitions and finishing in the final third.

In summary, Terror Classic SC fought valiantly but ultimately fell short in a closely contested friendly at Lekidi Grounds, with Notwane FC emerging 3-2 winners in an entertaining encounter.
