ECCO book Top 8 semi final berth

The match produced only a few scoring opportunities in the first half with play concentrated in the middle of the park where the duel between BMC midfielder, Kemmy Pilato and ECCO's veteran midfielder, Zecco Makafiri caught the eye.  The latter though won the battle and Pilato was substituted in the second half.

In one of the few goal scoring chances of the second half, ECCO's Lovemore Murirwa tested BMC goalkeeper, Takudzwa Ndoro from outside the box, but Ndoro  parried the ball away for a corner in the 21st minute. Thirteen minutes later, Tendai Nyumasi put ECCO in front with an easy tap in. The goal resulted from Murirwa's trickery on the right and a good ball into the danger zone, which Ndoro failed to deal with and the Zimbabwean striker  was at hand to capitalise.
