Hwange stun CAPS

Hwange who kept whining and complaining to the referee at every given moment, opened the scoring sheet three minutes before the breather when Zambian Aaron Katebe, sent a perfect header off a corner as the visitors were duly rewarded after an industrious first period.

However, Makepekepe quickly made amends a minute after the restart when newboy Leonard Fiyado, playing his first match after completing his move early this week from Gunners and was handed a place in the starting line up together with his former teammate Hardlife Zvirekwi , shot into the nets in a move which started by Rahman Kutsanzira who crossed into the box and Shingi Kawondera had a feel of the ball before the young striker finished off the ball with murmurs of an offside but referee Robert Mugorosa signalled a goal.

With the match drawing towards the end, but with the solid Chipangano troubling the CAPS United defence, it was always coming and the rightback who was playing for Northern Region Division One DStv Rangers found possession near the centre circle and his range beat the hosts’ second choice goalkeeper Muzvondiwa Gonese.

And Hwange coach Tennant Chilumba said while he was impressed with his team’s showing, he was clearly not amused by the behaviour, which was displayed by his players on the pitch. “I think we deserved to win.

“We have been working to get maximum points. And to me it was an offside (CAPS United equaliser) but of course the referee is always right.

“Of course discipline was not there. I am a disciplined coach and you could see the technical team trying to restrain them. We need players who are disciplined and I was disappointed and will address that,” said Chilumba.

CAPS United coach Sean Connor said he was disappointed but was pleased with the new striker on his first match.

“We are just disappointed. We were playing long balls and the first goal it was poor defending. Fiyado worked hard until the last 20 minutes. It is going to be a long trip and we are looking forward to that,” said Connor.

And the police had to be on high alert after the match as the dejected fans did not leave the stadium and with Dynamos faithfuls cheering on the visitors it was a bitter pill to swallow and the supporters had other ideas but luckily no violence broke out.
