YADAH FC....................(1)1
Defender Genesis Munashe emerged as fall guy after he netted an own goal which saw Kwekwe United suffer yet another defeat at the hands of Yadah FC in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match played at Bata Stadium yesterday.
Yadah FC won 1-0 courtesy of Munashe's own goal in the 17th minute. After a late kick off, the two sides started the match slowly, with little threat against each other.
Kwekwe United got their first chance on the 15th minute, when Takudzwa Chimhowa whipped in a cross that was tucked by Tafadzwa Muzenda.
However, they felt hard done when assistant referee Edgar Rumeki flagged it off for an off-side.
A minute later, the struggling side were trailing when their defender Munashe turned home a cross that looked hapless into his own net.
