A LATE strike by substitute Naison Takawira rescued visiting Green Fuel from the jaws of defeat against Chicken Inn in their Castle Lager Premier Soccer League encounter at Luveve Stadium on Wednesday.
Takawira’s dipping shot from outside the box salvaged a crucial point for the visitors.
Chicken Inn had taken the lead through Malvin Hwata five minutes after the break after he got to the end of a low cross from Xolani Ndlovu from the left.
Green Fuel took the game to the hosts in the early stages.
But it took 15 minutes to see the first real chance of the game from either side.
Midfielder Collins Dhuwa’s speculative cross crashed against the crossbar, while
Chicken Inn forward Brian Muza saw his shot go inches wide three minutes later.
Green Fuel midfielder Nelson Mwasanga positioned himself on the edge of the box 10 minutes before the break, but with all the space to find the target, he shot low and wide of goal.
Moments before the break, George Majika dribbled his way into the box from the left after exchanging passes with Xolani Ndlovu on that flank but his powerful shot went wide.
Chicken Inn started the second half brightly and Richard Hachiro had a rising shot from outside the box calmly collected by an alert David Bizani in the 47th minute.
Muza wasted a glorious opportunity to extend the hosts’ lead in the 64th minute after he rose high to meet a Michael Charamba cross from the right but he directed his effort over.
