TRIANGLE United Football Club ended their seven-match winless run with an important victory over visiting Hwange in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match played under unusual chilly weather conditions at Gibbo yesterday.
Wilson Mensah and Nobert Zingo scored two important goals which earned the Sugar Sugar Boys maximum points which are very vital in their push for survival.
Despite the win Triangle have still a lot of work to do as they are still languishing on 16th position with 29 points form 27 games and still a point away from safety.
Triangle travel to Bata Stadium to face Sheasham, who are on 14th position. The two teams are separated by a single point following Sheasham’s away loss to CAPS United in Harare yesterday.
Triangle assistant coach John Nyikadzino, who has taken over post-match interview duties since joining the Lowveld based side, was happy with the result and is optimistic his side will avoid the dreaded drop after their latest win.
“The guys played very well. I am happy with the result, very happy with the performance and the attitude. If your regular players start scoring it gives you belief that you are in the right track.
“These are very important points, our last game against Dynamos here we collected a point and the three points today will definitely make a difference and it’s a positive for us,” said Nyikadzino.
Hwange gaffer Nation Dube was not a happy man as he questioned a lot of refereeing decisions after his team’s loss.
“It’s very difficult to play more than eleven people at a given time. Some of the decisions against us were questionable and I wasn’t happy and I think it’s killing our football.
“We are playing Herentals midweek, we have to manage our fatigue because the travelling is too much. Some of my players are not even here because of the communication we had received earlier in the week cancelling games this weekend.
“We had released players and when the second communication came we could not get hold of some important players and we had to play today’s match with the available players.”
