Banyana Banyana’s Linda Motlhalo scores her first goal in Scotland

Linda Motlhalo scored her first goal for her new side, Glasgow City, on Sunday in the Scottish Women’s Premier League [SWPL] at Petershill Park.

Linda Motlhalo impressed in her first start for Glasgow City, netting the fourth goal as the Scottish giants hammered Partick Thistle 8-1 in the Petershill derby.

This was Matlhalo’s second appearance for Glasgow City following the Banyana Banyana international’s debut for her new side on Sunday, 29 January, a few days after the club confirmed her signing.

GLASGOW CITY’S POSITION IN THE LEAGUE

The 8-1 victory against Partick Thistle meant that City remained at the summit of the log standings with 47 points in 17 games.

Celtic FC Women are second on 44 points after playing the same amount of games as City, meaning Motlhalo’s side are currently three points ahead of Celtic.

With the season only left with a couple of games, Matlhalo’s side will look to collect more points from the remaining few games in order to become the Champions.

The Scottish Women’s Premier League only has 12 clubs in the division. So with 17 games played already.

This means that there is only seven games to go for Matlhalo’s side to work hard towards the winning the league.

WHAT EXPERIENCE DOES Motlhalo BRING TO THE HIGH FLYING GLASGOW CITY

In Sunday’s game against Partick Thistle, Motlhalo showed what can possibly be expected from her as the new addition to the club.

The 24-year-old helped Banyana Banyana win the African Women’s Cup of Nations [AWCON] title for the first time last year in Morocco.

After playing a vital role in Banyana’s history-making African triumph her country make history, Motlhalo will undoubtedly bring with her a winning mentality to City; which might be something that City will need as they are in the race to win the league.
