Harmony Nare tried his best between the posts for CAPS United yesterday at Rufaro Stadium. The big keeper showed amazing skills, making several spectacular saves during the match. His confident ball handling and distribution stood out despite coming from lower-league team ZPC Hwange. The newcomer performed like an experienced pro during just his second appearance for the Green Machine.
Scottland players celebrated another victory against the more established team. The crowd watched as the promoted squad scored twice after halftime to seal the win. Namibian Sadney Urikhob and Tymon Machope both found the net for the Mabvuku-based club. Their success marked back-to-back wins at the start of their Castle Lager Premier Soccer League campaign.
Scottland's coach, Tonderai Ndiraya, noticed clear improvements from their earlier 1-0 victory against Triangle. He praised his players for beating such a respected opponent with relative ease. The national team coaching staff observed everything from the stands. Michael Nees and Takesure Chiragwi paid close attention ahead of naming their squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Star midfielder Khama Billiat made his return from injury alongside Mthokozisi Msebe. Billiat quickly made an impact by setting up Machope for the opening goal just after halftime. Scottland created many scoring chances throughout the match with Panashe Mutimbanyoka missing several opportunities. Nare kept blocking shots until the 47th minute, when Machope finally broke through.
CAPS United tried fighting back into the game as time ticked away. Scottland goalkeeper Talbert Shumba stopped Jayden Bakari during a one-on-one situation. He also saved Juan Mutudza's attempt late in the match when the box became crowded. Urikhob scored the second goal during added time after receiving a pass from substitute Albert Manenji.
CAPS United coach Lloyd Chitembwe blamed basic defensive mistakes for both goals. He felt his team played decently but failed to protect their goal area properly. The first goal came after losing possession in midfield and allowing multiple passes. Four defenders somehow failed to handle two attackers during the second-goal situation. These errors ultimately cost them the match against the impressive league newcomers.
