Galaxy beat Orapa United 1-0 at Galaxy Stadium to win the league title for the second successive season.

Ramoreboli accumulated 65 points this season to pip Township Rollers to the honour on the last day of the Botswana Premier League season on Saturday.
Rollers, for their part, defeated TAFIC 1-0 in Francistown to finish their league campaign with 64 points, one point less than the champions. It must be noted that Rollers have the likes of Thabo Rakhale, Tshepo 'Skhwama' Matete and Mogakolodi Ngele on their books.
Ramoreboli praised Galaxy players for winning the league title back-to-back in Botswana and expressed his desire to stay on with next season's CAF League Champions participants.
"It was a tough season. For the first time, people thought it was luck. For the second season, the [opposition] teams put more effort into making sure we didn't win it for the second time.
"Credit should go to the players. There was a lot of pressure, but the boys showed resilience. I think the boys managed to handle the pressure of being on top of the log," Ramoreboli told KickOff.com.
"I am still here (in Botswana). My contract is coming to an end next month. I will hear from my bosses about my future. I would love to see the project grow. I would still love to stay here if that will be possible.
"We will wait and see, but as I said, I would love to [still] be here,", he added.

Galaxy famously defeated Orlando Pirates in the preliminary stages of last season's Champions League, before being knocked out in the group stage after finishing last in a group that comprised Wydad Casablanca, Simba SC and ASEC Mimosas.
They go back to the competition next season hoping to continue punching above their weight under a manager who is fast making a name for himself on the African continent.
