Bakari Bounces Back with Key Goal for Makepekepe

Jayden Bakari hasn't lived up to everyone's expectations since he won the Most Promising Player award back in 2022. The talented 22-year-old striker scored 10 goals for Whahwa that season before things went downhill. His time at hometown club Dynamos during 2023 didn't work out great. Then he switched to their rivals CAPS United last year where injuries kept him sidelined most games. He did manage to score against his former team when CAPS United beat Dynamos 2-1 at Rufaro Stadium late last season.

His current campaign started perfectly with an equalizing goal during CAPS United's season opener against GreenFuel. The match ended 1-1 last Saturday. Bakari feels happy about his contribution and believes the supportive atmosphere at his new club will help him return to his best form. He enjoys how the coaching staff motivates players and appreciates the quality of teammates surrounding him. Everyone shares encouraging stories about competing hard and winning games this season.

CAPS United faces newcomers Scottland this Sunday at Rufaro Stadium after dropping two points in their first match. The opposition boasts several star players, including Khama Billiat, who might face his former club exactly 15 years after leaving them for Ajax Cape Town. Billiat returned home last year after 13 years playing in South Africa. He never played against CAPS during his time with Yadah Stars due to suspensions. Scottland also features Soccer Star of the Year Walter Musona plus Golden Boot winner Lynoth Chikuh Chikuhwa, among others.

Despite facing these talented opponents, Bakari remains confident about CAPS United's chances. He stated they focus only on themselves rather than worrying about specific players on other teams. The young forward understands every opponent plays extra hard against big clubs like CAPS United. Fans wanting to attend Sunday's match must pay at least $5 for basic entry tickets. Premium seats cost $10 for western grandstand spots or $20 for VIP sections. The club plans various entertainment activities before and after the game, according to CEO Morton Dodzo. Youth teams will play preliminary matches ahead of the main event as usual.
