HARARE – Caps United came from a goal behind at Rufaro on Sunday to produce a 2-1 victory over Dynamos in yet another smash-and-grab incident involving the Green Machine and an old rival in the headline fixture of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League’s Week 29 diary.
Valentine Kadonzvo put Dynamos ahead moments before the half time break but Jayden Bakare restored parity 72 minutes into the clash.
With all seemingly headed for a 1-1 stalemate between the rivals, Caps United were gifted an own goal just under 10 minutes from the full-time whistle to make it 2-1.
Both Dynamos and Caps United are out of contention for the league title having fallen way behind in terms of points difference with table toppers Simba Bhora but the victory over each other is always sweet for both set of fans.
With Sunday’s triumph, Caps United produced yet another thrilling come-back affair against a traditional rival, having fallen 2 goals behind Highlanders at Rufaro last month only to win 3-2 with two goals scored in the dying minutes of the clash.
In other matches, title contenders FC Platinum did not do themselves any favour after they were held 2-2 by Hwange at the Colliery to drop crucial points that would have allowed the former champions to clip the yawning points gap with Simba Bhora.
At Barbourfields, Highlanders beat visiting ZPC Kariba 2-0 but the big story was the empty gallery that greeted the fixture after fans heeded a call to boycott the match as a statement to Zimbabwe football administrators they were not happy with what the club feels was ill-treatment suffered in the hands of match officials in a Chibuku Super Cup quarter final clash with Simba Bhora at Wadzanai recently.
The match was abandoned 10 minutes from the 90 minute with no goal scored yet.
At Baobab, Chegutu Pirates were 2-1 victors over Bikita Minerals.
Following Week 29 round of fixtures, Simba Bhora are on top with 60 points followed by FC Platinum who are on 51.
Highlanders are third on 44 and share the same number of points with fourth placed Manica Diamonds who have an inferior goal difference.
