RONALD Pfumbidzai says it always feels good to be on the scoresheet again after he netted his fourth goal of the season across all competitions for Chippa United.
The defender scored the opener in the 2-0 win over Mpheni Home Defenders in a Nedbank Cup encounter on Saturday.
Saturday’s game marked his third game since his return from injury.
“I was delighted to be on the scoresheet and I want to thank God for everything, all credit goes to him.
“Being on target was a big relief and it really boosts my confidence going into the next games.
“It is my hope that we will do well in this competition and I just want to help my team and do the best I can in trying to make sure that we reach the goal.”
On his return from injury, the Zimbabwe international said:
“Injuries are a part of the game and what’s important is recovery and I’m happy that I’ve recovered and looking forward to having some game time.
“It wasn’t easy being on the sidelines, you know I love to play and do well for my team.
“It’s good to be back and I’m grateful for the opportunity the coach has been giving me.
“Those minutes I was given to play means a lot to me.”
Another Zimbabwean, Edmore Chirambadare, was on target for his Venda FC against Orlando Pirates in the Nedbank Cup on Saturday.
Chirambadare started the match and played the entire ninety minutes and extra time in a losing cause.
His 49th-minute goal cancelled out Kermit Erasmus’ first half lead and forced the game into extra time.
Pirates’ Thembinkosi Lorch grabbed the winner in the later stages of the extended period.
Knox Mutizwa also scored but his goal was not enough to send Golden Arrows to the next round of the Nedbank Cup.
