Toothless Dynamos shocked by ZPC Kariba

Harare – Defending champions Dynamos were beaten 1-0 by premiership newboys ZPC Kariba. The Harare giants succumbed to an injury time goal from veteran forward Artwell Nyamiwa at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday. 

Speaking after the match ZPC Kariba coach Saul Chaminuka said;

“Winning against Dynamos means a lot. Everyone wants to win against them. It may surprise some people (that we have beaten them) but all teams that play against Dynamos prepare better because Dynamos are the number one team in the country.

“When you play them that’s when you see how good your team is. Even the players themselves are more than prepared because it is the barometer to say this is the kind of player that I am,” Chaminuka said.

Dynamos fans were clearly not amused by the team’s poor performance and had started whistling in disapproval as early as the 15th minute.

DeMbare Coach Callisto Pasuwa said;

“Today we lost the game and it’s very unfortunate. Good luck to the winning team; they played very well. I think the number of chances that we missed cost us. We had our chances and they got one and they killed us.”
