Defending champions FC Platinum returned from the two-week break on a high note, beating Chicken Inn 2-0 in an entertaining Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match played at Mandava Stadium on Saturday.

The impressive pair of Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya and Walter Musona scored as the platinum miners maintained their winning momentum.

And FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza was left on cloud nine after the win, which he believes marks the beginning of a purple patch by his side.

"Its a massive win. They had their chances. The game could have gone either way. Credit goes to the boys. They did well to get this result. It's very important for us especially coming from the break," Mapeza said after the match.

"Everyone is raring to go, we are going to keep working hard as a team. It's all about maintaining a positive attitude and mindset.

"There is still a long way to go. It's a marathon, we have to remain focused until the season ends. I hope we will achieve all our goals," Mapeza said.
