A first-year club secured the top domestic soccer championship after defeating Kwekwe United 5-1 on Saturday, matching a feat last accomplished four decades ago. Scottland FC finished with 65 points from 32 matches and two fixtures remaining, becoming just the second organization to claim the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League during its inaugural campaign. Black Rhinos previously achieved this distinction in 1984.
Khama Billiat, Tymon Machope, Ronald Pfumbidzai, and Tadiwa Chakuchichi all scored for the Harare squad owned by businessman Scott Sakupwanya. Manager Tonderai Ndiraya won consecutive titles after guiding Simba Bhora to victory last year, while captain Walter Musona also earned back-to-back championships with different organizations.
Journalist Stanley Gama had predicted the outcome when the team sat in sixth place earlier in the season. Supporters celebrated using the hashtag Mabviravira, a Shona expression meaning they are dominating opponents. The rapid ascent captivated fans across the nation as the club prepares for continental competition.
