Nkosilathi Sibanda at Barbourfields Stadium
Dynamos …………………………………………………..0
Hwange ……………………………………………………0
HWANGE FC explored a tight defensive tactic to wade off an offensive, but unlucky Dynamos side as both teams settled for a nil-all draw in a Castle Lager Premiership match played at Barbourfields Stadium yesterday.
Dynamos are still unbeaten at Emagumeni, a venue they recently adopted following a venue crisis in the capital.
The match could be described as a balanced affair with both teams sizing each other’s strength in the opening 15 minutes.
While Hwange go back home happier with a point gained, Dynamos know they could have done better, had they not wasted shots in front of goal.
Elton Chikona had good runs, threatening as when he had the ball.
So was Tanaka Shandirwa and the impressive Issa Sadiki.
The visitors were equal to the task as Brandon Rendo, Jofias Mumapnde and new signing Godwin Goriyati sealed the back.
For all the effort from both ends, it was anyone’s game.
Dynamos had more chances upfront and at 22 minutes, the former champions almost celebrated, but the goal that had come off Shadreck Nyahwa was adjudged offside.
Hwange’s closest chance was through Kluivert Tshuma who missed a goal scoring opportunity in the 19th minute as he took advantage of a lapse in concentration by the Dynamos defence, only to poke his effort over the bar.
