DYNAMOS interim coach, Genesis Mangombe led his charges to a convincing 2-0 win over newcomers Sheasham at Bata Stadium Sunday while leaders Highlanders made it 19 matches unbeaten.
Jayden Bakari and Eli Ilunga scored either side of the halftime break for Dynamos to stay in the title race.
The trip to Gweru was the first league assignment for Mangombe after he took over from Hebert Maruwa. He however, took charge of Dynamos’ Chibuku Super Cup first round win over Simba Bhora at Barbourfields last week.
So Mangombe now has two wins, two clean sheets in charge of Dynamos.
Highlanders edged bottom placed Black Rhinos 1-0 at Barbourfields to restore a five-point lead at the top.
Manica Diamonds’ impressive run continued as they beat hosts, Triangle 3-1 at Gibbo to keep pressure in the title race while Hwange scored two unreplied goals in the second half to beat Yadah 3-1 and move further away from danger.
