HOW DID YADAH LOSE?

Bruce Chikuni

Simba Bhora……………………………………………(1) 1

Yadah Stars………………………………………………..0

YADAH played all the football but still, somehow, came out empty handed in this Castle Lager Premiership match.

The Miracle Boys produced a fine exhibition in passing football, now rarely seen on the domestic front, and charmed the hearts of many.

But, now even a US$500 per player winning bonus carrot could help them find the target at the National Sports Stadium.

Instead, Alex Mandinyenya’s eighth minute strike powered Simba Bhora to a 1-0 victory to record their first win in the top-flight league.

But, those who don’t believe in luck were left convinced that it exists after watching the Miracle Boys lose despite dominating the entire game.

Even Simba Bhora coach, Tonderai Ndiraya, blasted his men for failing to cope with Yadah Stars’ mobility. “I want to be honest, I’m happy with the result, but not the performance.

“Yadah really dominated the entire game and, of course, I’m happy with how we defended our goal, but the team was totally different today in contrast to our last game against Dynamos.

“We had to protect our goal the entire match with Yadah playing as they please, and I’m not happy at all,” said Ndiraya.

Defender, Partson Jaure, somehow, survived a red card scare in the 70th minute after pulling Tichaona Zindoga, who was bursting towards goal.

Simba Bhora have now accumulated four points out of a possible 12.
