YADAH held former champions Chicken Inn to a nil-all draw in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer league match played at the Heart Stadium this Friday.
Reeling under the FIFA ban, Yadah only had one substitute on the bench for their match against Chicken Inn this Friday.
The Miracle Boys are banned from signing players until they pay the amount they owe three Brazilians who were on their books last year.
With some out-of-contract players having moved on, Yadah only has 13 players registered for this season and to make matters worse, Anotodaishe Gwatidzo was shown a red card on Match Day one making him ineligible for this week’s assignment.
Be that as it may, Yadah fought tooth and nail and held fancied Chicken Inn and with a hit of luck they could have snatched the victory.
“I am happy for my boys, they worked hard and under such circumstances, I am more than happy because we can’t refresh the team,” Yadah Coach Ikabort Masocha said.
With the season in its infancy, Chicken Inn took the draw.
“It is easier to say they did not have a sub but they still had 11 players on the field and at this stage, I would take the point away from home and we will build from here,” Chicken Inn Coach Joey Antipas said.
The result leaves Yadah with a single point from two matches, while Chicken Inn are a point better from the same number of matches.
