Hwange boot Dynamos out

was enough to send the coalminers to the final of the Bob 88 Super Cup.
They will now meet FC Platinum on 28 February at a venue to be announced.
The unheralded striker who is in his second season with Hwange, hit the back of the net in the 12th and 51st minutes with Washington Arubi pulling one back in the 84th minute.
Dynamos finished with 10 men after Murape Murape, a 53rd introduction, was sent to the showers in the 63rd minute for abusive language on referee Philani Ncube. Another Zimbabwe league champions player Guthrie Zhokinyi received a red card at full time for insulting the referee in a match in which the Harare team’s players showed lack of fitness and discipline.
Several of the Dynamos players were lucky not to be cautioned as on numerous occasions they needlessly mobbed the match official.
The team’s management has a mountain to climb as the fans were also found wanting throwing missiles onto the pitch on more than three instances.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police details also added to the day’s drama allowing Dynamos fans to invade the Soweto stand at half-time resulting in some skirmishes. The world over, supporters of one team are not allowed to follow where their team would be scoring especially if it’s a known fact that the opposition’s followers sit there.
Dynamos’ supporters were sent packing to the southern and eastern stands by the small crowd at Soweto. Lady Luck prevailed as no fan was trampled upon at the fence separating the pitch and Soweto stand.
There was not much separating the two teams in the opening minutes as both tried to build from the back through midfield with Zhokinyi marshalling the DeMbare well and Zambian Aaron Katebe keeping a tight lid in front of impressive young goalkeeper Petros Mhari.
Hwange eventually got the initiative in the 12th minute with Zvikumbawire and Rodwell Chinyengetere exchanging some neat passes from 30 metres out. This eventually led to a one-on-one situation with Zvikumbawire beating Arubi with ease for his first goal in Hwange colours.
Dynamos came close in the 26th minute. David Kutyauripo got the better of Nkosana Siwela in a battle deep in the Dynamos half, he then made a spirited run on the right before sending a good cross into the box. Roderick Mutuma headed it down towards goal and good goalkeeping had Mhari going airbone to punch the ball out for a corner.
In one of Dynamos’ best attacks, Denver Mukamba sold a beautiful dummy in the 30th minute to set up Mutuma on the blind side. The 2011 Golden Boot winners’ volley from inside the box was saved by Mhari on second attempt.
Two minutes later it was the time for Tineyi Chitora to try his luck but he blazed over the bar with Hwange players outnumbered in their own half after an injury-induced break. Most Hwange players were still drinking water on the touchline when Ncube blew for resumption of play with Dynamos quickly taking a throw-in.
Nkosana Siwela, quiet all along, found himself within shooting range and his full-bloodied effort was saved by Soccer Star of the Year, Arubi.
Dynamos came searching in the 47th minute with Mhari coming to the rescue of Hwange denying Thomas Magorimbo.
Zvikumbawire made it 2-0 with a brilliant goal. He dispossessed Bello just outside the centre circle and ran towards goal with Zhokinyi closing in before slotting the ball past a bemused Arubi.
“We are so happy for Francisco, these were his first goals for Hwange, we hope this has opened floodgates for him,” said Hwange coach Nation Dube.
Mutuma, full of running all afternoon, headed over the bar a chance in the 59th minute.
On 82 minutes recent signing Takesure Chinyama was released in a face-to-face situation with Hwange goalkeeper Mhari pulling out another great save.
Two minutes later there was no denying Arubi a moment of glory.
Dynamos won a freekick about 45m out and the goalkeeper sent a stinger worth any great game past Mhari to bring a sense of revival back to Dynamos.
