‘The pressure is on Scottland, not us’ : Kaindu says Scottland feeling the heat in title race

Hardrock coach Kelvin Kaindu insists the pressure to win the league title is on Scottland FC, as both teams are neck-and-neck with seven matches remaining before the curtain comes down.

Scottland lead the race with 57 points from 27 games, three points ahead of the Kasongo Golden Boys, who have exhibited commendable fighting spirit.

On Saturday, both sides collected maximum points with identical 2-1 scorelines, Scottland over Simba Bhora at Wadzanai Stadium, and Hardrock over FC Hunters at Rufaro Stadium.

In truth, the competition has reached boiling point, and any slip-up from either side could prove costly to their aspirations.

KELVIN KAINDU REVEALS HARDROCK FC’S OBJECTIVE 

And Kaindu has shrugged off the pressure, saying it is log leaders Scottland FC who are under it, as Hardrock’s only objective is to stay afloat in the PSL.

“We have got no pressure. The team that has got pressure is Scottland. Our objective is to stay in the Premier League and I think we have done well. We keep on chasing the team that is on top,” said Kaindu.

Prince Dube was the hero after his last-gasp equalizer helped Hardrock to a 2-1 win at Rufaro Stadium.
Washington Navaya scored the other goal, his 15th of the season, a strike that puts him firmly on course for another Golden Boot.

Godfrey Dagbwa scored FC Hunters’ consolation goal as Nesbert Saruchera’s team suffered an agonizing defeat after battling throughout the match.
