Three minutes later, Dzvukamanja stretched the lead when he headed home Donald Teguru’s corner.

The visitors could have pulled one back on the stroke of half-time, but Johannes Sibanda hit the upright.

Ralph Matema was also denied by the woodwork two minutes into the second half.

However, things got worse for Yadah when Teguru made it four in the 57th minute. Dzvukamanja had a chance ten minutes later, but his shot was cleared off the line by Willard Kalongoda.

Nonetheless, Clive Augusto struck home in the added time to seal the victory for Madamburo.
