The atmosphere was charged with anticipation at Mucheke Stadium as Masvingo United, colloquially referred to as Una Una, faced Renco FC in the Pacific Storm ZIFA Eastern Region Division One League.
The contest proved to be closely fought, with both teams demonstrating significant defensive capabilities in the first half. However, the stalemate was ultimately breached when Masvingo United’s standout striker, Raiseup Mtetwa, executed a precise finish that left the Renco FC goalkeeper unable to respond 10 mins into the second half.
Mtetwa improved his performance by scoring a second goal just 12 minutes after his first, achieving a brace. This accomplishment sparked enthusiastic celebrations among the home fans.
Renco FC managed to reduce the deficit with a goal in the 75th minute, yet Masvingo United’s momentum remained unrelenting. Adam Tende solidified the victory with a third goal in the 81st minute, leading to a convincing 3-1 win for the home team.
This victory stands as a reflection of the team’s evolving strength and cohesion, bolstered by the ongoing support of the new executive team, who have been consistently present at the matches. Commissioner Sternley Kondongwe was among the noteworthy dignitaries attending, underscoring his dedication to the team’s success.
