Chiredzi ………………………………………………………… (1) 1
Harare City ……………………………………………………. (1) 2
HARARE City’s revival continued yesterday when they stormed into the semi-finals of the Chibuku Super Cup with a rather lackluster win over Chiredzi at Mandava Stadium yesterday.
Inform striker Osborne Mukuradare smashed home a free kick, cancelling a Sam Msimbu opener for Chiredzi before speed merchant Martin Vengesayi grabbed the winner 38seconds after the restart. There was nothing much to write home about in the first half save for the two well taken goals.
It was underdogs Chiredzi who raced into the lead after 29 minutes when Msimbu headed home a perfect free kick by Ronald Maketo. Former Monomotapa forward, Mukuradare, evened matters 11 minutes later when his booming free kick proved too much for Chiredzi keeper Stephen Chimusoro.
Vengesayi then won it for Masimba Dinyero’s men when he read well a return pass from the forceful Francesco Zekumbawire to slot past a badly exposed Chimusoro. — Harare Bureau.
