Resurgent Mogoditshane Fighters brought ECCO City Greens' four-games unbeaten run in the ongoing be MOBILE Premier Soccer League to a halt with a very important 2-1 victory at Francistown stadium on Saturday afternoon. Goals from Richard Mwanza and Khumbulani Madziba in the second half handed the Mogoditshane outfit a deserved win over their weekend opponents, to bring the point difference between the two clubs to only one. After claiming the scalp of the champions elect Mochudi Centre Chiefs a fortnight ago, this Fighters' victory over ECCO is the perfect confidence booster for coach, Oupa Kowa and his charges.Both teams started the game like a house on fire swinging the game from end to end though neither Fighters goalkeeper, Israel Kealeboga nor his ECCO counterpart Michael Onkutule were called to make a save.
In the 20th minute, Nicholas Matlhare could have put Ecco in front, but was erratic in his finishing.Five minutes later, Ofana Motsumi picked a loose ball from his half and raced down the left flank before releasing Thatayaone Pitso who then found Nonofo Baatweng well positioned but failed to score. ECCO created better chances compared to their opponents, but Mmoloki Kafuko, Zecco Makafiri and Matlhare failed attemps were disappointing in front of goal. The home side was certainly more threatening in the attack leading up to the interval, but never forced Kealeboga into saves. Both sides went for the breather 0-0.
