Dynamos  0 - 0 Monomotapa
DYNAMOS players used an unorthodox entry into the stadium as they headed to their dressing room before the game but still the defending champions failed to collect maximum points from this Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match against Monomotapa at Rufaro yesterday.

Normally teams that play at Rufaro use the main gate off the Western Stands to enter the stadium and then proceed to the dressing rooms but Dynamos yesterday chose to go against the norm and used another gate, usually for training day purposes.

The Dembare team bus arrived at nearly 1:57pm and parked behind the northern goalpost where the players found the small gate into the field locked.

Efforts to locate the keys failed and the players, led by Thomas Magorimbo, then used the television camera stand mounted nearby to scale the perimeter fence and then make their way towards their technical area and to the dressing rooms.

Ostensibly Dynamos did not want to pass through the Monomotapa technical area, which was closer to the dressing rooms before going into the dressing rooms.

In the match yesterday Dynamos coach Callisto Pasuwa made eight changes to his starting line-up from the side that lost to Hwange last weekend but still the maximum points remained elusive for them.

Last week, the league champions fell to a 4-2 defeat at the Colliery but their rivals in the league race failed to take advantage of the slump as Dynamos remained at the top of the log and it was the same case after round 23 of the matches yesterday.
