Castle Lager PSL Title: Dynamos Close In On Ngezi Platinum
Dynamos football club secured a single point when they played against Black Rhinos in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League on Sunday to close the gap between them and the current league leaders, Ngezi Platinum, who lost to Hwange at the Colliery. However, some Dynamos fans were disappointed with the nill-all draw, as they believe Dynamos could have taken advantage of Ngezi Platinum’s loss and earned three points instead. Said one supporter:
Failing to beat a team which is second from bottom on the log and struggling is unacceptable.
Another one said:
when we should be pushing for the title and the weekend where our title opponents lose points motamba zvenyu neDraw paHome futi (you play for a draw at home) …disappointing.
Unfortunately, Dynamos had some challenges with player availability due to injuries and suspensions. Coach Genesis Mangombe said Dynamos’ defence suffered three injuries in Kevin, Elvis and Dzvinyai ahead of the match. Makarati and Shandirwa are suspended and Brandon Mpofu has a family issue. He added:
We still have to make it work with the available players.
The 2023 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season is nearing its conclusion, with only four matches remaining.
Meanwhile, Highlanders and CAPS United played to a one-all draw at Babourfields Stadium in Bulawayo. CAPS United took the lead with a long-range strike from Rodrick Chinyengetere, but Highlanders fought back in the second half with Mason Mushore scoring the equalizer. The match had a relatively low attendance as both teams are not performing well this season.
In another match, Yadah dominated with a six-nil victory over ZPC Kariba, showing their determination to avoid relegation. Yadah moved up to 13th place in the league standings, while Kariba dropped two places.
