Khama Billiat scored a brace in Yadah’s 2-1 victory over Chicken Inn in the Castle Lager Premiership at Heart Stadium on Saturday.
This was Yadah’s first victory at their newly-constructed Heart Stadium.
After a pacey start, the former Warriors international opened the scoring in the ninth minute after converting from the spot.
Chicken Inn tried to regroup in the following moments but were dealt another blow after Danny Phiri received a straight red card on the quarter hour mark following a crude challenge on Blessed Ndereki.
The play was soon affected by a ten-minute stoppage towards the end of the half after Yadah were awarded a second penalty.
The visitors protested the penalty decision by leaving the pitch before returning later.
Billiat took the kick and converted again to double the cushion.
Chicken Inn pulled one goal back in the second half through Brendon Rendo.
At Wadzanai Stadium in Shamva, TelOne defender Leo Hofisi received his marching orders in the second half of the game against Simba Bhora.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Elsewhere, ZPC Kariba and Bikita Minerals played a goalless draw in the other Matchday 9 game played on Saturday.
