ZANIS
The heading is misleading.Ismaili Club did not beat Green Buffaloes 1-0. Today’s match ended 1-1. Taking into account the first leg in which Ismaili beat Buffaloes 2-1; the result of today’s match is that Ismaili have beaten Buffaloes 3-2 on goal aggregate.
I dont think the reporter here has given the true heading. Please we demand for a quick correction of this mis information.
