Ngezi claim top spot after 5-1 ZPC Kariba trashing
By Sports Reporter
Ngezi Platinum trashed ZPC Kariba 5-1 at Baobab stadium Saturday to claim top spot in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL) log standings with Manica Diamonds also beating Black Rhinos 4-0 in another Match Day 7 encounter at Gibbo.
In Bulawayo, visiting Yadah got a baptism of fire after being beaten 2-1 by Bulawayo Chiefs.
Following Saturday’s round of Match Day 7 clashes, Ngezi moved to top spot with 13 points to their tally and test the summit for the first time since the start of the 2023 premiership campaign.
Match Day 7 continues Sunday with a potentially explosive derby between old rivals Caps United and Dynamos at the National Sports Stadium.
Both teams have had a reasonably good start to their current premiership campaign.
Caps United would be hoping to get back to top spot with a victory against their Harare neighbours while Dynamos wants to restore their championship chase following two demoralising defeats recently to Highlanders and Bulawayo Chiefs in the Independence Cup and in a premiership clash.
In other matches scheduled for Sunday, Triangle United host Chicken Inn at Gibbo with unbeaten Highlanders hosting Hwange at Barbourfields.
Cranborne Bullets date Sheasham at Baobab with Herentals taking on champions FC Platinum at the National Sports stadium to complete the weekend’s round of fixtures.
