Dynamos FC dropped points for the first time this season after playing a 0-0 goalless draw against Shamva-based Simba Bhora on Saturday.

The Glamour Boys had won their first two games, registering a 4-0 victory in the previous round.

Their matchday encounter, however, delivered a totally different display as they failed to dominate the pace during an entire afternoon.

The game itself had a slow start, with both sides failing to create meaningful chances in the opening quarter hour.

The first noticeable attack fell in Simba’s way in the 23rd minute when Tichaona Chipunza delivered a weak effort which posed no threat to Dembare goal-minder, Taimon Mvula.

Tanaka Shandirwa followed up for the visitors after the half hour but his effort went inches wide.

Arthur Musiyiwa came closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half, with his 43rd minute shot fumbled by keeper Simbarashe Chinani before hitting the post.

The second half presented less goalmouth threats with neither side willing to take the game forward.

The score-line remained the same as Simba grabbed their first point in the Castle Lager Premiership in which they are debuting.

Elsewhere, the matches between Cranborne Bullets vs Chicken Inn and Bulawayo Chiefs vs Black Rhinos also both ended in goalless draws, while Sheasham and Yadah played to a 1-1 stalemate.
