Former Dynamos goalkeeper Martin Mapisa helped MWOS secure a 1-0 victory against Herentals on Sunday at Wadzanai Stadium. The win pushed the Premier Soccer League newcomers to first place with 14 points, just ahead of defending champions Ngezi Platinum Stars. Mapisa recorded his fourth clean sheet in five games since joining MWOS this season. He missed only one match - a scoreless draw with FC Platinum two weeks ago.
The deciding goal came 20 minutes into the match when Billy Veremu's cross deflected off a Herentals defender. Mathew Murambiwa controlled midfield play throughout the contest as MWOS held off their opponents. Herentals nearly equalized during injury time when veteran Lot Chiwunga headed wide from close range. The 26-year-old Mapisa expressed happiness about his move to MWOS, saying he went where people wanted him.
The goalkeeper aims for more than just clean sheets this season—he hopes to make the Soccer Stars calendar. His primary goal remains helping MWOS avoid relegation as a newly promoted club. Based on their current form, Mapisa believes his team can finish among the top five. His next challenge comes against former club Dynamos in a match that might be played at Norton's newly renovated Ngoni Stadium.
