Triangle FC finally won its first game this season when it beat Yadah 1-0 at Gibbo Stadium. New coach Genesis Mangombe led the team to victory just one day after joining. Joel Munsaka scored the only goal during the first half, which made all the difference for the struggling team.
Assistant coach Newsome Mutema spoke after the match about how happy everyone felt with the three points. The Triangle had failed to win any games under the previous coach, Luke Masomere. They only managed one draw against Highlanders before firing Masomere. Mangombe returned from coaching in Tanzania when he saw a chance to work in the Premier League.
Yadah controlled possession early with their midfield trio, but Triangle made their chance count. Defender Carlos Musimwa, who played very well throughout the match, scored the goal with a long throw. Munsaka hit an amazing volley from 30 yards that beat goalkeeper Godknows Gurure, who stood out of position. The Triangle almost scored again, but Munashe Bamara missed his shot.
The home team used time-wasting tricks near the end to secure their victory. Despite winning, they remain at the bottom of the league because of poor goal difference. Coach Mutema said they worked hard on defending set pieces, which had been a problem. Yadah coach Ikabort Masocha admitted his team played poorly.
