MIDFIELDER Johannes Sibanda scored a brace as hosts Yadah piled misery on ailing Air Force of Zimbabwe side Chapungu in a poorly attended Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match at the National Sports Stadium yesterday.

Sibanda found the target either side of the half after their team skipper Brian Mapfumo had led the way with a fourth minute goal.

The midfielder, who was on target again last week when the Harare side came from behind to force a 3-3 draw at Bulawayo City, doubled the lead with a brilliant rising shot from a distance in the 25th minute and then returned to kill off the game with a header from Willard Kalongonda’s cross midway through the second half. Yadah coach Thomas Ruzive was excited by his team’s performance, especially the defence that kept a clean sheet to condemn Chapungu to their ninth defeat in 16 outings.

“I think the guys played very well especially in the area which we had been struggling with because I thought our conversion rate was very poor. There has been vast improvement in the last two games.”
