Mushangazhike backs Eagles in Axis Solutions Super 8 final

After missing out on the Northern Region Soccer League’s sole ticket to the Premier Soccer League, Golden Eagles coach Gilbert Mushangazhike has backed his charges to come right when they take on Simba Bhora in the Axis Solutions Super 8 Cup final at Rufaro Stadium on Saturday.

Golden Eagles were among the favourites for the title and for the better part of the season before their hopes were extinguished in August after drawing to Simba Bhora and losing to Herentals Under-20.

Mushangazhike reckons the disappointment of missing out on the league will spur his charges as they aim to finish the season on a high by winning the coveted silverware.
