Caps United fall to ZPC Kariba as Highlanders held by Yadah
By Auther Chimbgwa
Caps United suffered their third defeat in four games following a 3-1 loss to ZPC Kariba in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League Match Day 27 clash played at Rufaro stadium on Sunday.
Moses Demere scored in the 17th and 22nd minute before Charles Munyanyi added another deep in stoppage time to extinguish Caps United’s hopes of at least earning a point.
The poor pitch condition allowed Demere to benefit from a lucky bounce that evaded the Caps United goalkeeper for his first goal.
Caps though pulled one back in the 35th minute through Love Mabiala but the effort was not enough to reverse the damage.
