HARARE – Premier Soccer League (PSL) new boys Scottland FC finally bit the dust three games into the 2025 season after they were handed a 1-0 defeat by 2023 champions Ngezi Platinum Stars at Rufaro Stadium on Friday afternoon.
A goal by Ngezi Platinum Stars’ captain Kudzai Chigwida was the difference.
Chigwida scored in the dying minutes of the match from the spot kick after Ngezi Platinum were awarded a penalty.
Scottland midfielder Frederick Botchway fouled Ditima in the box with veteran and highly rated referee Brighton Chimene pointing to the penalty spot.
Ngezi Platinum defender Chigwida then showed some leadership qualities, stepping forward to take the penalty.
He sent Talbert Shumba the wrong way with the goal helping the Mhondoro based side collect maximum points away.
It was Scottland’s first defeat in the just started 2025 campaign, having recorded wins against Triangle and CAPS United.
