Dynamos salvage point as fans chant “Muzadzi must go”

Dynamos…………….. …………………………………0
Triangle……………………………………………………0

Irate Dynamos fans yesterday demanded the immediate sacking of goalkeepers’ trainer Gift Muzadzi whom they accuse of sabotaging the team.

On the day DeMbare put up another lifeless performance embattled coach Paolo Jorge Silva repeated his claims that he is being sabotaged.

“I feel some people don’t want to win, it happened at Chicken Inn and it happened again here today,” said Silva whose side has now failed to find the back of the net in 180 minutes of football.

While Silva did not mention any names the DeMbare fans believe Muzadzi is the problem and yesterday they chanted “Muzadzi must go” slogans soon after the final whistle.

Police had to move in to disperse scores of angry Dynamos fans who had camped just outside the stadium’s main gate, threatening to take some unspecified action against their goalkeepers’ coach.

The goalless draw against David “Yogi” Mandigora’s side left DeMbare with a single point out of a possible six, the club’s worst start to a season in 13 years.

Silva feels his team could have easily dismissed a Triangle outfit whose defence was well marshalled by former DeMbare kingpin Guthrie Zhokinyi.

Dynamos will play Mutare City Rovers at Sakubva next week under pressure to register their first win of the season while Triangle will welcome Border Strikers.

Silva has had a topsy turvy relationship with Muzadzi and the latest episode in their never ending scuffles exploded during the week when DeMbare played Gunners in a practice match.

The Portuguese mentor exchanged harsh words with Muzadzi and team captain Augustine Mbara, who were trying to restrain him as he launched an attack on Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries leader Walter Magaya.

Silva and Magaya had disagreed on the way the practice match was being handled by the referee.

In another incident, Silva and Muzadzi came close to exchanging blows at Rufaro in February after a disagreement on which keeper to use in a friendly match against Whawha.

The heated argument had to be diffused by club secretary Webster Chikengezha.
Mandigora, who took over a side that was deserted by almost an entire starting line up during the offseason, felt the draw was a fair result.

Meanwhile, Hwange’s nightmarish start to the 2016 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season continued at Ascot yesterday.

The visitors, who were hammered 0-3 by Highlanders at home on match day one, put a disjointed performance as they fell to a Chapungu side that badly needed a reaction after getting a thumping away to Caps United last weekend.

Second half goals from Gift Phiri and William Ngonya handed the home side their first victory of the season. — Langton Nyakwenda/Simba Chimhinya. Sunday News
