DYNAMOS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(3) 5
YADAH. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(1) 1
DYNAMOS' fairy tale at Barbourfields Stadium continued after they clobbered hapless Yadah in a tepid Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match yesterday.
DeMbare have not lost a match at BF this year, but yesterday they were just lucky to snatch a win as their game was below par.
The Glamour Boys finished the game with 10 men after defender Elvis Moyo was given his marching orders for an off-the-ball incident on Blessed Ndereki.
Dynamos scored three goals within the first 20 minutes through Shadreck Nyahwa, Elton Chikona and Frank Makarati, who converted from the spot.
Nyahwa had it easy as early as the seventh minute with a header from Moyo’s corner kick.
Chikona was set up by Jayden Bakare four minutes later and he unleashed a beautiful curler from outside the penalty area, confusing Yadah goalkeeper Marshal Takarinda.
