New striker Chris Mugalu made his mark for CAPS United against Scottland FC on Sunday. The Zambian forward headed home a brilliant goal that sailed into the top corner past goalkeeper Talbert Shumba. His first half strike gave the Green Machine a crucial 1-0 victory. Coach Ian Bakala also started fresh faces Chitoshu Chinga and returning player Ishamael Wadi. The win lifted CAPS United to tenth place as they battle against relegation.

Bakala praised his team after the match and said the players followed his game plan perfectly. He noticed the good form during training sessions leading up to the match. The coach admitted his side made some small errors but felt satisfied with the overall performance. CAPS United grabbed three valuable points despite facing pressure later in the game. The victory gives them breathing room in their fight to stay up.

Scottland FC controlled most of the second half and created several scoring opportunities. The Mabvuku team thought they had equalized in the 89th minute but the referee ruled the goal offside. Coach Tonderai Ndiraya felt frustrated with his defenders after the loss. He expected better from his experienced backline and criticized them for allowing Mugalu such an easy header. The defeat dropped Scottland FC to fifth place with 28 points, trailing leaders MWOS who have 40 points.
