Chicken Inn FC 2-0 Bulawayo City FC

CHICKEN INN are through to the quarter-finals of the Chibuku Super Cup after completing a double over Bulawayo City in a Group B encounter at Barbourfields Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

Although their performance was uninspiring, Chicken Inn still had enough gas in their tank to overpower an improved Bulawayo City, who were the better side in terms of performance.

Second half goals from Clive Dzingai and Brian Muza were all the Gamecocks needed to maintain their unbeaten run in the group.

Dzingai opened the scoring in the 67th minute, tapping home from close range after a defensive mistake by City.

Substitute Muza sealed the match as a contest in the 82nd minute. The former Talen Vision striker volleyed home a free-kick from Xolani Ndlovu.

Although City dominated possession, they failed to turn that into goals and were duly punished by an experienced Chicken Inn outfit.

Chicken Inn now sit on 10 points, three ahead of second-placed Highlanders, who take on Bulawayo Chiefs on Thursday afternoon.
