YADAH coach Thomas Ruzive feels Khama Billiat is getting ROUGH treatment from opposing players who are targeting the star forward.

The former Warriors star missed a sitter, which could have helped the Miracle Boys win this game against Dynamos at Rufaro yesterday.

 “I think we have been facing the same problems with many teams. I think it’s not fair because Billiat is a player like any other and they should treat him as such, not to have a game plan to injure him. 

“It’s not fair because you will end someone’s career.

“I think the guys are playing very well and are improving with each game.

“I am very happy with an away point against a team like Dynamos. We have gone for a couple of games without a loss and I am happy. 

“Of course, we defended well the entire game but we just slept on the wheel in the last minutes.” 

Dynamos coach Genesis Mangombe was a bit disappointed as his team failed to make use of home advantage for a second consecutive game at Rufaro. 

They had trouble dealing with the pace of Yadah players like Blessed Ndereki, Billiat, Mandlonkosi Mlilo and King Nadolo. 

DeMbare had sought to counter threat from Billiat by assigning Shadreck Nyahwa to man-mark the former Zimbabwe international.

And, they appeared to succeed because of the highly physical approach by the defender. 

Evans Rusike powered Yadah into the lead while second half substitute Valentine Kadonzvo equaliser late on for DeMbare.

Kadonzvo struck with just three minutes of regulation time remaining on the clock, after having trailed the Miracle Boys for most of the game.

But the game could have had a different outlook altogether had Billiat buried a one-on-one chance against DeMbare goalkeeper Martin Mapisa, moments after the restart.
