…Triangle FC shoot to the top
Harare Bureau
HIGHLANDERS were held to a goalless draw by Buffaloes at Sakubva Stadium in Mutare yesterday.
Bosso have now taken seven points from their last three games after starting their campaign with a 0-2 defeat in Harare at the hands of ZPC Kariba.
While the point in Mutare, where Sakubva was hosting its first Premiership game this season, was a good one for coach Bongani Mafu, he will be concerned that four games into the season, none of his strikers has hit the target.
The forwards fired blanks against ZPC Kariba, Tsholotsho, Hwange and Buffaloes, who conceded five goals in their last outing against the Kariba side at Gwanzura.
Buffaloes have now picked two points from their first two matches at home.
Meanwhile, Triangle shot to the top of the Castle Lager Premiership after handing newboys Dongo Sawmills a 1-0 defeat at Vengere yesterday as Kelvin Kaindu’s men continued their impressive start to the season.
On their second visit to Vengere, in as many weeks, after being held to a draw by Buffaloes, Kaindu’s men got it right this time around as they powered to a priceless victory on the road to power to the top of the table.
The Zambian coach appears to have transformed his side, who struggled in the league last year, and after the first four league games, they now lead the marathon.
Richard Kawondera scored the all-important goal for Triangle and Dongo Sawmills have now lost their last three league matches, by a goal, against How Mine, Dynamos and Triangle.
The newboys started their life in the Premiership with an impressive 2-2 draw against FC Platinum in Zvishavane.
