Hwange lead goal stats

. Fungai Muderere
THE CASTLE Lager Premier Soccer League Week 21 action produced a total of 21 goals, one shy of the leagueaï¿½ï¿½s opener with Hwange being the first club to score more than four goals after they beat visiting Triangle 5-3.

The eight goal thriller that was played deep in the bowels of Colliery Stadium saw unheralded but in-form Chipangano midfielder Gift aï¿½?Sitholeaï¿½? Mbweti, become the leagueaï¿½ï¿½s leading goal scorer with eight goals under his belt.

He scored a brace, a development that saw him overtake ex-Highlanders utility player Bruce Kangwa who left the country to join Tanzanian outfit Azam FC in early August after scoring seven goals for Erol Akbayaï¿½ï¿½s black and white army.

Veteran forward, CAPS Unitedaï¿½ï¿½s Leonard Tsipa, whoAï¿½ scored a brace when his club clobbered hapless Mutare City 4-1 last Saturday,Aï¿½ now has seven goals to his name while Cityaï¿½ï¿½s Kudakwashe Gurure has six, one ahead of Rodwell

Chinyengetere (FC Platinum) and Gilbert Zulu (Hwange).

A total of 16 players are on the four-goal mark and these include Highlandersaï¿½ï¿½ Prince Dube, their ex-forward Knox Mutizwa, Makepekepeaï¿½ï¿½s Dominic Chungwa, Masimba Mambare of Dynamos, How Mineaï¿½ï¿½s Pascal Manhanga, William Manondo who turns out for Harare City and FC Platinumaï¿½ï¿½s holding midfielder Nqobizitha Masuku among others. FC Platinum lead the log standings withAï¿½ 43 points, with a goal difference of +13 and five of their players aï¿½ï¿½ Chinyengetere, ObreyAï¿½ Chirwa (now in Tanzania),Aï¿½ Masuku, Winston Mhango and Walter Musona have scored three goals and above.

Such is the case with second-placed Caps United and their highest goal scorer is the 34-year-old Tsipa who is on seven goals ahead of their Week 22 tie against Triangle at Gibbo Stadium on Sunday.

Dynamos have one player (Mambare) that has scored more than three goals and the trending joke on social media in the past week reads aï¿½?Did you know? Orlando Pirates leading top goal scorer, Tendai Ndoro has three goals after playing one PSL match; Dynamos leading top goal scorer Masimba Mambare has four goals after 21 matches.aï¿½?

Reigning champions, Chicken Inn, have two playersAï¿½ (Obadiah Tarumbwa and Clement Matawu) that have found the back of the net three times and above with the former having four under his belt ahead of their mid week match against Hwange set for Wednesday.

Triangle FC have three players that have scored three goals and above and their highest goal scorer being Simba Makoni who has found the back of the net four times.

Bulawayo City has no player that has scored three goals plus. Tsholotsho FC have two players and with the other one (William Stima) having crossed to FC Platinum during the Zifa mid-season second transfer window period.

Also in that bracket is Border Strikersaï¿½ï¿½ William Nyoni.

Fact: Tendai Ndoroaï¿½ï¿½s hat trick came on the first week of the Absa Premiership while Zimbabweaï¿½ï¿½s Castle Lager Premiership enthusiasts are yet to witness a hat trick as the programme enters Match Day 22 on Saturday.
