FC Platinum and CAPS United played to a goalless draw at Mandava Stadium on Saturday.

The visitors set the pace in the opening minutes of the game, dominating the possession, but the Platinum Boys soon picked up their tempo and got the first attempt on minute 7 when Evidence Tendayi‘s effort was saved by the keeper.

Rodwell Chinyengetere and Kieth Madera also met opportunities on their way but failed to reach the target.

On the other end, United only came close on goal after the half-hour when Dominic Chungwa fluffed a golden opportunity inside the box.

Chitiyo followed up on the stroke of halftime when he received the ball in the face of the keeper and Rainsome Pavari’s well-timed interception saved the day for FC Platinum.

The second half saw CAPS United getting much of the play in the middle park but failing to penetrate the hosts’ backline. Their only threatening effort came early in the period when Joel Ngodzo’s strike went to the hands of the keeper.

No significant chances from the hosts were created in the remainder of the game as it ended in a stalemate.

At Rufaro Stadium, Dynamos and Triangle United drew 1-1.

The Sugar Boys broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark through Trevor Mavhunga. The advantage was cancelled out nine minutes later by Godknows Murwira who equalised after his free-kick took a deflection from Donald Dzvinyai.

The visitors could have grabbed the lead again in the second half but Allan Tavarwisa’s header hit the post.
