Russel Chifura’s first half goal helped Chegutu Pirates secure a maiden Castle Lager Premier Soccer League victory against Greenfuel at Baobab yesterday.
After suffering two defeats in their opening matches, Chegutu Pirates have now collected four points from their last two matches after a goalless draw at Manica Diamonds last Thursday.
Chegutu Pirates got their first goal of the season in the 33rd minute as Chifura converted a searching cross beyond the reach of Greenfuel goalie Nedra Madeya.
Greenfuel had their chances but the best of them by James Ngulube was denied by Pirates’ Arnold Munkuli.
In a post-match interview, elated Pirates coach Emmanuel Day Gutu gave credit to the fans, executive, sponsors and stakeholders for their support.
“The win is a special tribute to the fans for cheering us from onset and the executive for the five-star treatment they gave the team before the match.”
Gutu added that they need to repay all that the executive has done.
“We were in search of a starting point and today we broke through.
“I am hoping for a positive result in our next encounter,” said Gutu.
The match was graced by Mashonaland West Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Marian Chombo, Chegutu councillors and management.
