(Simba Bhora win 5-4 on penalties)
VETERAN goalkeeper, Talbert Shumba, saved two penalties to help Simba Bhora win the inaugural President’s Children’s Party at Vahera Stadium here yesterday.
To manage time, the match was reduced to a 60-minute contest and the over 10 000 spectators enjoyed every bit of it, despite lacking the goals.
And, it all boiled down to the penalty lottery where the Shamva team edged their opponents through the sudden death penalty.
The regular five penalties had finished in a 4-4 draw. Simba found the target through Walter Musona, Gift Saunyama, Partson Jaure, Blessing Moyo and young Isheanesu Mauchi, who held his nerve to strike home the decisive penalty.
Perfect Chikwende had missed.
Manica Diamonds found the target through Garikai Dematsika, Takunda Jeffrey, Farai Banda and goalkeeper Geoffrey Chitsumba before Bret Amidu’s kick was saved by Shumba.
