Dynamos boosted their survival hopes with a narrow 1-0 victory over rivals CAPS United in a tense Harare derby at Rufaro Stadium on Sunday.
The decisive moment came when Jairos Kasondo rose at the near post to head home from a corner, handing the Glamour Boys three crucial points that lifted them to 32 - level with CAPS United. Both giants remain under pressure to secure safety with only five games left in the season.
Although the match lacked end-to-end drama, the stakes ensured a tense affair on the pitch. CAPS United carved out promising chances but were let down by poor finishing, while Dynamos made the most of a half-chance to claim victory.
The atmosphere in the stands told a different story, with fans from both sides turning out in large numbers to create a carnival mood despite the high-pressure stakes.
For Dynamos, the win preserved coach Kelvin Kaindu's unbeaten run since his arrival, further lifting spirits among supporters. CAPS fans, however, were left to rue missed opportunities as their side surrendered bragging rights in the derby.
With five games to go, both teams still have a fight on their hands to ensure survival in a season where the threat of relegation looms large.
