AGAMA………………………………………..….(1) 1
Dynamos…………………………………….…..(0) 1
NOT many expected Dynamos to have such a fine start – eight points in the first four games of the season.
But some will still look back at their 1-1 draw with AGAMA at Wadzanai yesterday and realise the record could have been better.
Jairos Kasondo converted an 83rd-minute penalty to salvage a point for the Glamour Boys.
Kasondo’s strike cancelled out an early goal from Cain Mashonganyika.
It was a goal that promised the world for the newcomers as they seemed to be heading for surprise win.
But, they could not hold on.
The draw ensures that DeMbare go into the international break well positioned to have a better season than last year.
And, for Kasondo, this was his third goal of the season. Scottland’s Khama Billiat leads the scoring charts with four goals, having managed another brace yesterday against FC Hunters.
“We have had a decent start this season compared to last (season).
“It’s a bit refreshing because last season we only started picking up points later on, when we were in the thick of a relegation battle.
“Starting well helps us play without pressure as a team.
“When I first arrived at Dynamos, I told myself this was the platform to show what I can do.
“But it was difficult to establish myself until the second half of the season.
“When I finally got my chance, I utilised it. That’s when I started to believe that I am just like any other player. That belief motivates me and makes the game feel easy.”
Dynamos have had to rebuild under coach Genesis Mangombe after last year’s relegation fight. The likes of Pio Tellmore and Shadreck Nhahwa, who were in the thick of things yesterday, are some of the remaining players from the class of 2025.
And new signings such as Collin Mujuru and Stanley Billiat has given the Glamour Boys renewed hope.
“By the time we reach mid-season, I hope to be in contention for the Golden Boot.
“To do that, I need to keep working hard. But, as a team, we are looking to win something to put in our trophy cabinet.
“Me being here at Dynamos and performing well is not a small thing, it’s a win for my Banket community and all other areas like ours.
“I have a whole lot of people, especially youngsters, who are inspired by me. It shows that you can do it on the biggest stage, no matter where you come from. It brings belief and takes away the fear.”
