FC Platinum 1-2 Dynamos
FARAI Mupasiri grabbed a late winner as Dynamos subdued FC Platinum at Mandava on Saturday to move to within three points of leaders Highlanders.

The defending league champions led with a 22nd minute goal by Denver Mukamba before Donald Ngoma brought Platinum level shortly after the break.

The hosts were reduced to 10 men when Qadr Amin saw red for lashing out at Partson Jaure.

The sending off freed up Dynamos to go forward and Mupasiri ensured the champions kept their 100 percent record against the Zvishavane club with a dramatic late winner.

With leaders Highlanders not playing until 24 hours later, Dynamos closed the gap to three points with a game in hand.
