Lameck Nhamo scored twice inside the opening quarter-hour as Triangle edged Dynamos FC 2-1 on Sunday to reach their first Chibuku Super Cup final, where they meet two-time winners Harare City, who dismissed CAPS United 2-1 a day earlier.

When on-fire FC Platinum midfielder Rodwell Chinyengetere suffered a horrific double fracture on his right shin in 2012, it looked as though Zimbabwean football had just witnessed another premature end to a promising career.
Fast forward to 2018, and the same player has not only reclaimed his place in the limelight, but he’s also about to rewrite history by becoming the first man in nearly three decades to win back-to-back Soccer Star of the Year accolades after another season of outstanding individual…
CAPS United coach Lloyd Chitembwe will be hoping for a reprieve with victory over Harare City in the Chibuku Super Cup semi-finals after coming under scrutiny from fans following a prolonged run of poor league form.
Chitembwe’s men have lost their bearings in recent weeks, and the 2-1 defeat to Yadah on Wednesday was the team’s fourth in their last five matches, prompting some supporters to voice their displeasure.
For a change, the mood is decidedly different at cross-town rivals Dynamos, who take…
Second-half goals from midfielders Rodwell Chinyengetere and Farai Madhananga left FC Platinum on the brink of a historic second consecutive league title after a 2-0 win over Chicken Inn on Wednesday.

It has been a long time coming, but Baroka winger Talent Chawapiwa was finally handed the opportunity to impress in Zimbabwe’s 1-1 draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday.
He certainly seized the opportunity, and may have done enough to prove he belongs with the team’s other key attackers.
Deployed as an inverted winger out on the right, it was one of Chawapiwa’s trademark driving runs which created Zimbabwe’s shock first-minute opener to deflate the visitors at the National Sports…
It was another defiant defensive display which helped Zimbabwe over the finish line for a shock 2-1 win away to the Democratic Republic of Congo in Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Ronald Pfumbidzai and Knowledge Musona scored either side of the break to set the stage for a truly memorable triumph, with Yannick Bolasie’s injury-time response for the hosts proving inadequate to halt Zimbabwe’s party.
The result significantly boosts the Warriors’ chances of qualifying for the 2019 Africa…

The possible deployment of captain Knowledge Musona as an out-and-out striker against the Democratic Republic of Congo could further enhance Zimbabwe’s potency upfront in Saturday’s crunch Africa Cup of Nations qualifier away.
The Warriors skipper has almost always played in wide areas in national colours, but with a succession of injuries having decimated virtually all of coach Sunday Chidzambwa’s centre-forward options, Musona now appears the only credible alternative available for the role.

Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Willard Katsande is confident teammate Teenage Hadebe will prove equal to the task of repelling the fearsome Democratic Republic of Congo forward line in Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier despite his apparent lack of match fitness.
Hadebe was in imperious form as Zimbabwe held Congo-Brazzaville to a 1-1 draw in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier early last month, but he has since struggled to reclaim his status as a regular in the Chiefs set up.
The 22-year-old…
