adminCastle Lager Premiership soccer encounter at Gwanzura yesterday.
Kiglon, who seemed to have an upper hand in the opening minutes of the game, failed to utilise the chances that came their way in the first half.
Joseph Mutambiranwa’s solitary goal in the 38th minute was all Monomotapa wanted to collect maximum points.
Mutambiranwa shot home from close range after receiving a pass from Russel Madamombe.
Troubled Kiglon could have taken the lead in the 12th minute when Lawrence Mwashita’s shot from inside the box went wide.
They also could have equalised in the 81st minute when they were awarded a penalty after Monomotapa’s Russel Madamombe fouled Brighton Pamhirwa inside the box but it was wasted as Nelson Mazivisa saw his effort saved by Jorum Muchambo.
Four minutes later, Monomotapa got a penalty that could have seen them doubling the score but Makai Kwashu also failed to convert as his shot hit the crossbar.
The penalty came after Kiglon’s Samuel Chitsamba tackled Mutambiranwa in the box.
