Innocent Kurira at Luveve Stadium
Chicken Inn 1–0 ZPC Kariba (Full-time)
It took 90 minutes of flickering pressure, but in the dying embers of stoppage time, Itai Mabhunu lit up Luveve with a thunderbolt to finally trip ZPC Kariba’s wires!
The match looked destined for a goalless gridlock after a frustrating first half where Chicken Inn dominated possession but couldn’t flip the switch in the final third. George Majika and Arthur Chinda generated most of the wattage on the right, but Walter Vuwa and Tadiwa Muchenje missed big chances to spark an early breakthrough.
ZPC Kariba stood firm, grounding Chicken Inn’s energy surges and threatening to walk away with a clean sheet despite being second best throughout.
But in the 90+3rd minute, Luveve Stadium erupted. A rebound fell kindly for Itai Mabhunu at the edge of the box, and with precision and power, he plugged his effort into goal — blowing the fuse on ZPC Kariba’s resistance.
The GameCocks held on for the final few seconds to seal their third straight home win and jolt their PSL survival campaign back to life.
