Nandos' hat-trick flattens ECCO

The anticipated be Mobile Premier League epic clash was reduced to an anti-climax as pace-setters, Township Rollers, turned the whole thing into a one-sided affair, pounding ECCO City Greens 5-0, thanks to an early Sekhana Nandos Koko's hat-trick, After playing to a pulsating 2-2 draw in Gaborone in the first round when ECCO appeared to be having an upper hand, it was expected that the Francistown side would give Rollers even a fiercer battle when the two sides met on Saturday.

However, it was a Nandos' show, as the Rollers' marksman returned to the venue where he last scored four goals against TASC early this year.  The lanky striker would soon hit three goals in the first half, before Phenyo Molefe and Thando Moreki added two more to complete a miserable day for ECCO, who are now virtually out of the running for the league title.
