GWERU-Forgotten cup kings CAPS United FC continued their resurgence in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League with a narrow 1–0 victory over TelOne FC, piling further pressure on coach Herbert Maruwa as his side’s struggles continue.
The Green Machine made the most of home advantage, grinding out a result that will be welcomed more for its points than its style, while TelOne’s winless woes showed little sign of easing.
Elsewhere, Hardrock FC produced one of the day’s biggest shocks, holding former reigning champions Ngezi Platinum Stars to a 2–2 draw in a pulsating encounter that exposed frailties in the platinum miners’ defence.
Triangle United also enjoyed a productive afternoon, dispatching a hapless Manica Diamonds 2–0 in a controlled performance that underlined their growing consistency.
At Mandava Stadium, FC Platinum were forced to share the spoils after a 2–2 draw against MWOS FC in a lively contest that swung both ways, with neither side able to land a decisive blow.
Earlier in the day, Simba Bhora and Agama FC finished in a 2–2 stalemate in a match defined by attacking flair but defensive lapses.
