CAPS United have been dealt a huge blow in their survival bid, after becoming casualties to ZPC Kariba’s clinical attack to lose by three goals to one in a dramatic Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match day 27 encounter at Rufaro Stadium this Sunday.
Barely hanging above the relegation places by two points, CAPS United’s recent struggles deepened this Sunday as ZPC Kariba produced a masterclass, leaving the Rufaro faithfuls in disbelief.
The visitors raced into the lead early and never looked back, capitalising on the lack of urgency in the CAPS midfield to power to one of their strongest finishes this season.
Raila Mabiala tried to bring his side back in the game with a beautiful header, but the goal only served as consolation goal for Makepekepe, as the damage had already been done.
In Bulawayo, Highlanders were forced to share the spoils with Yadah, playing out a one-all draw at Barbourfields.
Bosso had the better of the chances, but Yadah fought-back and stood firm, grabbing a valuable point on the road.
Down at Gibbo, Triangle United outgunned Herentals in a six-goal thriller, coming out 4-2 winners in a match filled with attacking intent and poor defending from both sides.
At Ascot Stadium, Manica Diamonds came from behind twice to draw two-all with Kwekwe United, showing resilience as they attempt to break out of the relegation zone.
