RAYMOND Uchena’s first-half header was cancelled by Evans Katema’s strike from the spot as Green Fuel and Bikita Minerals shared the spoils in this Castle Lager Premiership match at the Green Fuel Arena yesterday.
It was Saul Chaminuka first game at home and it came against his former side.
Chaminuka lost 0-2 in his first game as Green Fuel coach when his side travelled to in-form Manica Diamonds on Sunday.
It was pound-for-pound as the two sides played entertaining football which delighted a decent crowd.
Anelka Chivandire was undoubtedly the best player on the field while the ageless Allan Gahadzikwa proved handy for the visitors.
The home side took an early lead when captain Uchena rose highest to head home the opener off a fine corner kick from Collins Dhuwa in the 22nd minute.
Uchena turned from hero to villain three minutes later when he brought down Liberty Masveure in the penalty area.
Katema cooly slotted the ball home, sending Greenfuel goalkeeper Tapiwa Chilenga the wrong way.
The second half was more of a see-saw affair as both sides went in search of a winning goal.
The home side came close on several occasions but Bikita Minerals goalkeeper Victor Machopa was brilliant between the sticks.
