Drama as Ecco beat Gunners

The pouring rain and the soggy pitch did not dampen the spirits of the players who waged battle throughout the match. The clap of thunder when the two teams trooped to the flooded pitch was perhaps a sign that the match will be an explosive affair. Like marabou storks, Gunners were clad in black and white while ECCO wore green.

Dark clouds hung ominously over the stadium as the game started and the heavens opened further raising fears that the duel will not last the distance. ECCO were the first to go on the attack with Nicholas Matlhare releasing a dangerous ball in the fifth minute from the right but the advancing Master 'General' Masuku could not connect the cross.
