Dynamos ……………………………………………. (2) 3

ZPC Kariba ………………………………………….. (0) 1

DONALD Mudadi was simply unplayable yesterday as giants Dynamos kicked off their defence of the Chibuku Super Cup title with a dominant display against ZPC Kariba at Rufaro.

The midfielder was involved in all three goals that were scored by Dynamos, after breaking the ice in the 14th minute, and then setting up Emmanuel Paga and Nomore Chinyerere either side of the half time break.

And, it was another good day in the office for DeMbare, who are currently working their way up again under interim coach Lloyd Chigowe.

The coach who was also pleased by the midfielder’s animated form, after recovering from a series of injuries earlier in the season.

“Since last week, Donald Mudadi has been showing signs of coming back to his real form and I think today he was live and spot on,” said Chigowe.

Mudadi put DeMbare ahead with a brilliant long range strike that goalkeeper Future Sibanda could not match after he was deceived by a half-hearted clearance by his defenders from a free kick.

Chigowe had the luxury of introducing highly-rated teenage forward Vusa Ngwenya, who did not disappoint with glimpses of rich promise.

Despite this being the first time this season that DeMbare have scored three goals in one match, their coach Chigowe was not entirely won over by the team’s performance.

“I’m pleased with the result but not the overall performance,” he said.

“We had lapses in concentration and I think over-confidence which does not bode well for future assignments. Otherwise it’s good that we are through to the next round.”

ZPC Kariba coach Newton Chitewe felt his team lost it when they allowed DeMbare to score twice inside the opening 20 minutes.

Although pleased by introducing teenage midfielders Genius Hute and Ian Sabelo, Chitewe was also not amused by the missed chances by his team.

“I think we did not play very well in the first half. We did let Dynamos play and as a result conceded two goals in the early minutes. We made some defensive blunders but we had a good second half. I think the introduction of our youngsters helped us to attack more. We had more scoring chances but we could not convert,” said Chitewe.
