Zim PSL Match Day 21 Wednesday roundup: Caps go top, Akbay red carded for pelting ref

Caps United jumped to the top of the log of the Zimbabwe Castle Lager Premier Soccer League with a 2-1 victory over Black Rhinos in Wednesday’s match day 21 action.

John Zhuwawu got a late winner after Francisco Zvekuwambire had cancelled Newman Sianchali’s opener. They now take a one point lead on the log.

They took advantage of a slip-up from FC Platinum, who were held 1-1 at Hwange. Perfect Chikwende gave the champions the lead before Ernest Gwitima converted a penalty early in the second half. Gift Mbweti was sent off late for FC Platinum. The champions do however have a game in hand over Caps United.

The big story of the day saw Ngezi Platinum coach Erol Akbay sent off for pelting assistant referee Sanele Sibanda with a water bottle in a 2-0 loss to Chicken Inn. Obriel Chirinda scored both goals for Chicken Inn.

Dynamos survived a late comeback as they came away 3-2 winners over Herentals after leading through goals from Godknows Murwira, Evans Katema and Nigel Katawa.
