The Norton based side remains on 42 points from 25 matches in third place.

For MWOS FC, the result extended their winless streak to six matches, a run that has included four losses and a single draw since their last victory against Bikita Minerals early July.

Both coaches acknowledged the tough nature of the encounter.

Simba Bhora’s coach, Joe Luphahla, expressed satisfaction with his team’s resilience. “I am happy for our players because last week we had a disappointing result,” he said. “When you come from a loss, sometimes psychologically you are affected, but I am happy that we came here and we suffered.

They played good football in the first half. ” Luphahla credited a tactical shift in the second half for the win, which involved introducing wingers to stretch the opposition’s defence. “I am happy that it worked,” he added.

MWOS coach Lloyd Mutasa commended his players’ effort despite the loss. “It was a tough encounter, both of us we got our chances,” he said. “The team that at the end of the day converted the chances that came their way ended up victors, but I’m going to appreciate my boys for working so well. ” The match was a tightly contested affair with both sides creating opportunities.

Early on, Arthur Banda had a free header for MWOS, but failed to direct a Billy Veremu cross downwards.

The midfield battle was a key highlight, with Simba Bhora’s trio of Junior Makunike, Blessing Moyo, and Butholezwe Ncube going up against MWOS’s Aboubakar Moffat, Mathew Murambiwa, and Tafadzwa George.

Midway through the first half, Tafadzwa George unleashed a powerful shot for MWOS that was parried away by Simba Bhora goalkeeper William Thole. 🔗
