Dynamos may have dropped points on the road for the first time in three away matches, but their 1-1 draw against league newcomers Agama at Wadzanai Stadium tells a story of a team with a much stronger backbone than the side seen last season.
While a stalemate against a winless side might frustrate some, the "Glamour Boys" displayed a level of tactical depth and fighting spirit that suggests Coach Genesis Mangombe has them on a significantly more promising trajectory than their previous campaign.
The encounter started as a trial by fire for DeMbare. After goalkeeper Iddrissou Nfor pulled off a world-class save to deny Emmanuel Charamba, the resulting corner saw Grey Kufandada head home in the 23rd minute.
