Mutare City ………………………… (1)
Bulawayo Chiefs …………………… 0
Mutare City collected their first set of three points after dismissing a battling Bulawayo Chiefs in a lukewarm encounter played at Vengere Stadium yesterday.
Gusha Bhora got their goal from veteran striker Evans “Morocco” Chikwayikwayi in the 12th minute when he fired home from an Issa Sadiki beautiful cross.
The match was balanced with both teams creating scoring chances, only to falter in the last third of the pitch.
Rovers for the first time this season managed to defend their lead thanks to a combination of good goalkeeping from Tafadzwa Dube and a well-oiled defence marshalled by Themba Dube.
A relived Mutare City coach, Joseph Takaringofa, said he was happy with the three points, saying the win will inspire his team to continue performing better and hopefully avoid relegation.
“This is a very good win for us, you do not have to play beautiful football to win,” Takaringofa said.
