Ngezi Platinum. . . . . . 1
Bulawayo City. . . . . . . .0
NGEZI PLATINUM finally remembered how to win when they edged stubborn Bulawayo City in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match at the Baobab yesterday. The club’s leading scorer James Nguluve scored his fifth goal of the season from the spot after only five minutes of play as the hosts posted their first victory in six outings.
Tonderai Ndiraya’s men moved to 30 points, 13 clear of Mutare City Rovers who occupy the last relegation slot.
The hosts controlled the game as the visitors struggled to penetrate the Ngezi Platinum centre back pairing of former Dynamos star Partson Jaure and the lanky Liberty Chakoroma.
Yesterday’s defeat was Bulawayo City’s second in seven matches since coach Try Ncube took over from Philani “Beefy” Ncube who was suspended for alleged match fixing early August.
The municipality side now occupy eighth position.
