Wahala don jarrah for Dyamos as dem climb one place for the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League table but still dey for relegation zone after dem draw against Triangle United for Matchday 28 on Sunday. As dem enter the match on top of four-game winning streak, hope say dem go fit pack the point and come out from danger zone. But the match be tight like small child gbenshing with pikin, nobody fit break the deadlock.
Even though Dynamos try shine for field with some clear chances, dem formation no fit penetrate Triangle defense wey stand gidigba like wall of Jericho. Triangle dey eye mid-table finish, so dem get dem own chances too, but na only wahala dem fit create no cutting edge to vex Dynamos goalkeeper.
As for the score, e leave Dynamos for 16th place with wetin? Just 29 points, but na 3 points dey separate dem from safe zone. Meanwhile, Triangle dey 12th position with 32 points, keeping dem dream alive to enter the top-half of the table like say na Christmas fest.
Next wahala go be away match against city rival CAPS United for Dynamos, just as dem dey fight to survive. But Triangle go just dey chillax because dem no go play next round as dem opponent Simba Bhora dey jolly for Champions League. Jackpot for Triangle?
For the ground matter, referee Thembinkosi Sibanda no gree enjoy the match finish as e need police escort to carry am comot from Rufaro Stadium after players and fans vex scatter like dem dey fight dem life. The final whistle just show say dem no gree agree with the calls wey the match officiators don make. Players dey hot, fans dey throw bottle as e dey waka go locker room. Hope say PSL no go slap Dynamos with fine o.
Dynamos coach, Kelvin Kaindu, fit hear the players’ frustration. E talk say dem drop two vital points wey fit don carry dem waka away from relegation zone. “We drop two points. If dem allow us win, we for don shine,” kaindu na talk. “But we also fit see say na vital point wey we gather. First half, e no sweet at all, we dey play low.”
Dynamos start the game with some immediate threats when Leeroy Mavhunga blast ball from long range, but Takudzwa Chikosi no gree make am pass. Triangle side also dey pack own fire with some good chances but na like goat wey wan jump fence without success.
As the match dey run finish, e don dey clear say one point no dey sweet like sugar, but na beta-solution wey coach Mangombe go take home. “We go take this point because na football,” e say. “But when you dey relegation zone, na time to dey maximize points. We dey still try make sure say next game no dey end like this again.”
