Scottland needs a victory against Black Mambas on Friday to clinch a spot in the Premier Soccer League during the final round of the Northern Region Soccer League (NRSL).
Scottland rose to the top of the NRSL standings after the league awarded them a 3-0 victory over Karoi United for a previously abandoned match.
The match, which ended 1-1 on September 15, was halted due to crowd trouble, with Karoi identified as responsible for the disturbances.
With 84 points from 37 matches, Scottland leads former frontrunners MWOS by two points. Both teams play at home this Friday, with Scottland hosting Black Mambas and MWOS facing Agama. MWOS has a better goal difference, meaning Scottland must win to secure promotion.
The NRSL disciplinary committee expressed disappointment in Karoi United’s lack of remorse regarding the crowd incident, highlighting their failure to ensure security and manage fans effectively. The ruling serves as a reminder of their obligations and includes a fine.
As the decisive match approaches, Scottland is focused on securing their place in the Premier League. (Herald)
