Struggling Harare giants CAPS United’s woes continue after they were stunned 1-0 by Bikita Minerals in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match played at Rufaro Stadium.
The Green Machine have endured arguably their worst start to a PSL season after managing just one win in their opening seven matches.
Innocent Masiiwa’s late sucker punch condemned CAPS to their fifth defeat of the season, a setback that might result in heads rolling in the green half of Harare.
Makepekepe did everything to draw first blood, but it was they who conceded against the run of play, to the ire of their fans who braved the chilly weather to watch the game at Rufaro.
The result means CAPS will stay 15th and are not bottom-placed; they have a superior goal difference over Triangle United, who registered their first win of the season-—a 1-0 victory over Yadah at Gibbo.
At Sakubva, on-fire TelOne forward Washington Navaya scored a brace to take his season’s tally to seven, as the WiFi Boys came from behind to eventually settle for a 2-2 stalemate with Manica Diamonds.
Manica raced to a 2-0 lead through Charles Teguru and Anelka Chivandire, but TelOne fought back to restore parity and continue with their brilliant start to the season.
There was drama, though, in the 73rd minute, when Manica players left the pitch in protest of the referee’s decision to award TelOne a penalty, which was eventually taken and converted by Navaya after a close to seven-minute stoppage.
