GOALKEEPER Munyaradzi Diya was the star of the show and produced a number of brilliant saves to inspire 10-man How Mine to a hard-fought victory over an inspired Yadah Stars in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match at Luveve yesterday.

How Mine’s victory saw them moving three places up the ladder into fourth place. The gold miners are now tied on 24 points with third-placed Chicken Inn, who have a better goal difference.

Diya kept his side in the game with a double save in the 18th minute by first blocking a Johannes Sibanda shot before tipping Paulo Borges’ attempt from the rebound out for a corner. Two minutes later, Diya again went airborne to push Borges’ header out.

Yadah’s control of the first half lasted for half an hour as How Mine struggled to keep up with the visitors’ attackers led by Borges and Leeroy Mavunga.
