Dube opened the scoring in the 11th minute and from there it was one way traffic with Mudzingwa adding a second in the 28th minute. Pakamisa gave Ngezi Platinum a bit of a chance with  a goal before half time but any hope was dashed in the second half as Kutsanzira added the third before Prince Dube completed his brace.
