Patrick Chitumba in Gweru
GWERU-BASED Castle Lager Premier side Sheasham needed a last gasp equaliser to salvage a point in a one-all draw against visiting Triangle FC yesterday.
Defender Roy Useni saved the hosts the blushes scoring deep in added time to ensure the construction boys stay out of the relegation zone. Blessing Kagudu had given the Sugar Sugar Boys a second half lead with a beautiful volley. Triangle coach Thulani Sibanda felt they deserved more than a point.
“It was a match we dominated from the beginning, I do not want to dwell on the decisions of the referee but we had a good game and should have won,” he said.
Sheasham FC coach Lizwe Sweswe was relieved his side managed to avoid defeat.
“We still have a problem of converting the chances we create maybe it is an issue of confidence in front of goal,” Sweswe said.
“However we did well to come from behind and get a point, every team is fighting relegation from as high up as position six so that point is okay.”
The opening minutes of the match were cagey as neither team created any meaningful chances. Against the run of play Triangle took the lead in the 66th minute when Kagudu got the better of Roy Useni to coolly slot the ball past Elton Sibanda. Sheasham FC threw everything at the visitors but their forwards failed to convert the chances that came their way. With the match seemingly headed for a Triangle victory, Useni connected a cross from the right to hit it from close range and secure a point for the Construction Boys.
