Hwange………………………………………………(1) 2
CAPS United……………………………………………..0
HWANGE did themselves a huge favour in their quest to survive relegation after they beat CAPS United in a Castle Lager Premier league match at the Colliery yesterday,
Hwange are in the fight for the lives to stay in the elite league and their approach to the game showed that the coalminers are prepared to move mountains for their cause.
The introduction of lanky midfielder Mongameli Tshuma for Marcelline Milo in the 57th minute added more firepower into Hwange’s attack.
Twenty minutes from time, the football gods finally smiled on Hwange with a cleverly headed goal by veteran striker Dominic Chungwa.
He came to the end of a teasing and defence splitting cross from playmaker Claivert Tshuma.
In the 83th minute , Tshuma again returned to haunt the visitors as he laid another sitter for Shepard Gadzikwa who made no mistake with another header.
Hwange coach, Rodwell Dhlakama, said:
“I am very happy with the win and proud of the boys for their stellar performance to garner this crucial win. It is still a long way to go as far as the relegation fight is concerned but I am sure with such a fight we can bring smiles to the Hwange fans at the end of the year.”
CAPS United coach, Loyd Chitembwe, said:
“The boys gave it their all but it was not to be as Hwange fought hard for the points. I would not want to talk too much about a number of things that happened as it is what happens in the game of football.”
