FAZ Provincial Cup final brings Eastern Province to a standstill

The FAZ Eastern Province cup tournament final took center stage on Sunday, 29th November with a fierce contest involving two former FAZ Division One South now FAZ/EDEN national league outfits in the name of Petauke United Fc and Panza FC.

The game was played at a mild tempo, the first half ended nil-all with Panza squandering some good scoring opportunities which they later lived to regret.

In the Second half, Petauke United took the game to the opposition from the start of the second half whistle and it didn’t take long, they found the back of the net in the 56th minutes through their center forward Patrick Masiye after timing his run well from the left wing to curl in a shot in the right bottom corner.

With the hope of equalizing, Panza FC made a series of changes in the 60th minute but to no avail, as Petauke sat back and defended the goal plunging their opponents to defeat in a game where they didn’t dominate the proceedings.
