Sports Reporter

THREE Zimbabwe international footballers were on target for their clubs around the world on Tuesday.

Tawanda Maswanhise scored his seventh goal of the season, across all competitions, in Leicester City Under-21’s 4-2 penalty shootout win over Bradford City in the Papa Johns Trophy.

The Zimbabwean youngster netted City’s second goal to complete a 2-2 comeback that forced the game into penalties.

Maswanhise has now scored in both appearances in the competition, while also boasting of a five-goal tally, in the Premier League 2 campaign.

In the China Super League, Nyasha Mushekwi took his season’s total to eight goals after helping his Hangzhou Greentown side to a 2-1 victory over WH Three Towns.

Mushekwi also extended his record as the club’s all-time leading scorer with 44 goals.

Defender Divine Lunga netted his first goal in his second spell at Golden Arrows in a South African DStv Premiership match against Cape Town City.

Lunga grabbed the equaliser, with a second half rocket, to squeeze a 1-1 draw for his side.

The left-back, who’s on a season’s loan from Mamelodi Sundowns, has started in Arrows’ last seven games.

The England-based trio of Burton FC striker David Moyo, Plymouth Argyle defender, Brendan Galloway, and Fleetwood striker, Admiral Muskwe, were also in action on Tuesday night.

Galloway was introduced as a second half substitute and helped his side snatch a late winner in a 2-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
