When away goal rule spoils a good night

Gaborone United (GU) and Township Rollers connived to dish sumptuous football. With the tie dismissed as a dead rubber, after Rollers took a commanding 2-0 from the first leg, GU roared back in stunning fashion to win the tie, after a 3-3 aggregate score deadlock at the end of an absorbing 120 minutes.

GU had to play ball; and they did. The Reds put The Blues under considerable pressure and asked their traditional rivals uncomfortable questions throughout the thrill-a-minute encounter. There was every ingredient that makes a tasty football encounter; the goals, fiery exchanges, a red card and drama.
