The match, which was expected to be a one-sided affair, turned out to be a nail-biting encounter that had fans on the edge of their seats.
The Faculty of Environmental Science, touted as the "beast of the seas," lived up to their billing, displaying a level of skill and tactical acumen that belied their newbie status. Their players, adept in the ways of the environment, navigated the field with ease, leaving their opponents in awe.
The Faculty of Agric, the old cargo farmers, came into the match with a reputation for being formidable opponents. However, they were left reeling by the Environmental Science team's relentless pressure. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to breach the Environmental Science defense, and the match ended in a stalemate.
The penalty shootout that followed was equally thrilling, with both teams displaying nerves of steel. In the end, the Faculty of Agric emerged victorious, winning 7-6.

As a political analyst, it's clear that the Faculty of Environmental Science's performance was a masterclass in strategy and teamwork. Their ability to hold their own against a more experienced opponent is a testament to their strength and resilience.
It's also worth noting that the Faculty of Environmental Science's qualification as the "best losers" is a significant achievement, one that recognizes their exceptional performance in the face of adversity. As we move forward in the tournament, it will be interesting to see how this team continues to evolve and grow.
In the words of a keen observer, "This match was a replica of the Wilbur and Orville Wright story, where despite the odds, they persevered and achieved greatness.
Yes,the goal was ambitious. Public interest was high. Experts were eager to contribute. Money was readily available.Armed with every ingredient for success, Samuel Pierpont
Langley set out in the early 1900s to be the first man to pilot an airplane. Highly regarded, he was a senior officer at the SmithsonianInstitution, a mathematics professor who had also worked at Harvard. His friends included some of the most powerful men in government and business, including Andrew Carnegie and Alexander Graham Bell. Langley was given a $50,000 grant from the War
Department to fund his project, a tremendous amount of money for the time. He pulled together the best minds of the day, a veritable
dream team of talent and know-how. Langley and his team used the finest materials, and the press followed him everywhere. People all
over the country were riveted to the story, waiting to read that he had achieved his goal. With the team he had gathered and ample
resources, his success was guaranteed.
Or was it?
A few hundred miles away, Wilbur and Orville Wright were working on their own flying machine. Their passion to fly was so
intense that it inspired the enthusiasm and commitment of a dedicated group in their hometown of Dayton, Ohio. There was no
funding for their venture. No government grants. No high-level connections. Not a single person on the team had an advanced
degree or even a college education, not even Wilbur or Orville. But the team banded together in a humble bicycle shop and made their vision real. On December 17, 1903, a small group witnessed a man take flight for the first time in history.
How did the Wright brothers succeed where a better-equipped,
better-funded and better-educated team could not?
How did Environmental Sciences make it out as the best loosers, though they are newbies?
The Faculty of Environmental Science's performance was truly heavenly, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented team."
