ARENEL MOVERS . . . . (0) 0
YADAH FC . . . . . . . . . . . (1)2
FORMER Warriors’ striker Evans Rusike was on target to help Yadah FC beat a disjointed Arenel Movers at Luveve Stadium yesterday afternoon.
Rusike gave the visitors the lead with a brilliant individual effort in the first half before Vincent Sango ended the match as a contest halfway through the second half.
It was only the Miracle Boys’ third win of the season while newcomers Arenel suffered their fourth defeat of the league race.
Arenel Movers coach Farai Tawachera blasted the club's entire setup.
"The whole setup is wrong, from the administration to the ground. We are trying our best as coaches but it's not coming out. When you lose like this, people will sit down. But when you continue picking points here and there, they don't see the danger of it. This is a wakeup call. They think football is played by coaches,” he said.
Yadah coach Thomas Ruzive was happy that his boys utilised the chances that they created.

"The guys played very well and they are playing well but if you look at the last games they were creating chances but they failed to convert. But today it was a different story, they managed to convert those chances they created," said Ruzive.
At Sakubva Stadium, Clayton Masekesa reports that Bikita Minerals collected maximum points in their first match since losing head coach Saul Chaminuka to Green Fuel in a lively Castle Lager Premier Soccer League encounter.
Evergreen midfielder Allan Gahadzikwa powered home at close range from a well taken free kick by Russell Madamombe before Evans Katema doubled the scores with a thunderbolt outside the box inside the first 12 minutes.
In the 40 minute, Learnmore Chibaya pulled a goal back for Chegutu Pirates but they failed to find the equalizer for the rest of the match.
Bikita Minerals interim coach Arnold Jani was full of praise for his players.
"The game was OK and we played very well in the first half. I am happy that the boys played according to instructions. We really needed this win," he said.
Chegutu Pirates coach Godfrey Tamirepi said the result was unfortunate.
"We had a slow start to the game, but we managed to pick ourselves up in the second half. We came back in the second half and they (Bikita Minerals) defended well. We also wasted chances," said Tamirepi.
