The story here is that there is a football match in a military controlled country. There are soldiers surrounding the pitch. There is a bad tackle and a huge fight breaks out. It starts to get out of hand and the army surround the players. The army tanks roll in and open fire on the players. After massacuring the player they leave it up to the foot soldiers to execute the survivors. Then the whole army leave all the players lying dead on the pitch.
