adminspirited Triangle at Sakubva yesterday.
Triangle were the better team in the first half but somehow the Chiredzi side lost their rhythm after the break and allowed the hosts to claw back into the game.
Gishon Ntini’s men were the first to find the target after 34 minutes when striker Terrence Ganyata, well positioned just outside the box, cleverly turned and struck a thunderous shot that gave impressive Buffaloes goalkeeper Blessing Mandimutsira no chance.
However, the hosts restored parity at the stroke of halftime when influential midfielder Wonder Sithole tore the visitors’ backline with a fine pass to an unmarked Muzokomba who slotted home a beauty.
Striker Lloyd Katongomara, who was back in the Buffaloes’ fold after a lengthy lay-off due to injury, propelled his team into the lead with a flashing header from a Sithole free-kick.
In the 84th minute, Sibanda put his name on the scoresheet and ensured that Buffaloes made the visitors pay for the 2-0 loss they suffered in the reverse fixture at Gibo.
Triangle coach Gishon Ntini had no kind words for the referees whom he accused to have titled the playing field in favour of the home team.
Buffaloes coach, Timothy “Sicho” Masachi, praised his players saying they showed a lot of discipline.
