DYNAMOS were held to a goal less draw by Herentals to leave Group One wide open as Harare City and ZPC Kariba also shared the spoils on match day one of Chibuku Super Cup games played at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday.
Dembare strikers failed to break down the Students’ resolute defence and bury the half-chances that came their way.
Herentals were the better team, creating better chances but did not capitalise on the upper hand; they enjoyed ending the match the more frustrated side.
In the other match at National Sports Stadium, ZPC Kariba thought they had bagged maximum points but deep into injury timeTendai Hove made a howler with what proved to be the last action of the match when he fumbled the ball into his own net to give Harare City a fortuitous equaliser.
Sunday’s results mean that Group One remains wide open, with all teams on one point each.
In Bulawayo, Chibuku Super Cup holders Highlanders found a way to beat their bogey side Bulawayo Chiefs by a solitary Washington Navaya strike.
Chiefs had given a good account of themselves and did everything required of them except to score.
Christopher Charakuda was on target as Cranborne Bullets became the first newly-promoted side to win in this year’s Chibuku Super Cup after they edged Manica Diamonds 1-0 at Sakubva stadium in Mutare.
Denver Mukamba was a menace to Triangle defenders as he scored two goals and provided an assist to power Ngezi Platinum Stars to a 3-1 victory at Mandava Stadium in Zvishavane.
Mukamba’s second goal was a goal only Mukamba can score, reminding all and sundry that class is permanent.
