Mukudzei Chingwere in Zvishavane

FC Platinum . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2

Chapungu. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2

(Chapungu progress 5-4 on penalties)

VETERAN forward Phillip “General” Marufu converted the decisive penalty as Chapungu booted FC Platinum out of the Chibuku Super Cup for the second year running at Mandava yesterday.

Marufu was joined in converting the spot kicks by teammates Blessing Mbavarira, Tapiwa Kumbuyani, Xolani Ncube and Edmore Muzanenhamo.

FC Platinum midfield workhorse Farai Madhanhanga was the villain as he fluffed his effort while the quartet of Rodwell Chinyengetere, William Sitima, Kelvin Moyo and Never Tigere scored.

In regulation time, Osborne Mukuradare and Muzanenhamo scored for Chapungu while Moyo and Mkokheli Dube scored for the home side.

FC Platinum gaffer Norman Mapeza conceded defeat.

“I am not disappointed, it is part of the game and congratulations to Chapungu. I wish them well in the quarter finals,” he said.

Chapungu coach Rodwell Dhlakama was sent to the terraces by referee Artwell Mazire just before the breather after a match ball scuffle by the touchline.

But Dhalakama was not complaining after the final whistle.

“I told you before the game that history has a tendency of repeating itself and I am happy we beat FC Platinum and are through to the next stage.

“We will push to go as far as possible in this cup. But as we do that, we will have one eye on the league and that is why I rested some players for this cup game,” he said.
