CAPS United back to winning ways

ZIm Now Writer

Harare premiership side, CAPS United put their five-match winless streak behind with a 2-0 win over Greenfuel at Bata Stadium in Gweru yesterday.

Coming into the match, CAPS United had been beaten thrice and drawn twice and this win against Greenfuel put their campaign back on track.

CAPS United coach Lloyd Chitembwe dedicated the win to the supporters who braved the chilly weather to cheer the team on, adding that things had changed at Makepekepe.

“The win belongs to the supporters, they deserve it, they have been starving of celebration and this football club is theirs. Noone can begrudge them to be in a celebratory mood,” he said.

The lack of unity at the club, Chitembwe said, was te source of bad results that the team was getting.

“We have been going through a phase were there was so much disunity within the club. When things were not going on well, it was open for everyone to see and if they are now going on well like they are now, results speak for themselves. I have always said we have the players a good team but there were challenges we were facing and I am glad things are getting back to normal at the club for everyone involved,” he said.

His counterpart Rodwell Dhlakama said his team lacked precision in front of goals.

“We lost it in the first half, we made chances and failed to score, we made two blunders and CAPS United utilised the chances and we lost the match,” he said.

The match started on a high tempo with CAPS United on the front foot, threatening the visitors.

Godknows Murwira put in a cross from the right flank that was met by Hastings Chapusha whose header was ruled offside with Greenfuel goalkeeper David Bizabani a beaten man. Moments later, Makepekepe got another chance from a free kick just outside the 18 area but a weak effort by Murwira was easily collected by Bizabani.

Makepekepe took the lead following a William Manondo tap-in after a goal mouth melee.

CAPS Unite were reduced to ten men after Murwira was shown a second yellow card for time wasting.
