Dynamos' fight for Premier Soccer League survival will go down to the wire after they were held to a tense 1-1 draw by Yadah FC in a relegation thriller at Ngoni Stadium in Norton on Saturday.

The result leaves Dembare in 13th place on the log with 38 points, just three ahead of Yadah, who remain in 17th position. A victory for Dynamos would have guaranteed their safety, but a dramatic late equaliser was needed to salvage a point after a nervy encounter.

Dynamos looked destined for defeat after trailing for most of the match, only managing to level the scores in added time, sparing their fans a devastating blow. The draw means that their top-flight status will be decided on the final matchday, setting up a tense conclusion to a difficult season.

For Yadah FC, the point keeps their faint survival hopes alive. A loss would have confirmed their relegation alongside Kwekwe United, but the result ensures they remain mathematically in contention heading into the last weekend.

At Gibbo Stadium, Triangle United boosted their chances of survival with an emphatic 4-0 victory over already relegated Kwekwe United. The win lifted the Sugar Boys to 37 points, level with two other sides battling to avoid the drop. They will face Green Fuel FC in a crucial final fixture.

Meanwhile, Highlanders failed to secure mathematical safety after being held to a 1-1 draw by Manica Diamonds at Barbourfields Stadium. Bosso now sit on 38 points, and a draw in their final league match will be enough to confirm their survival.

With just one match left, the relegation battle remains tight, with Dynamos, Highlanders, Triangle United, Yadah FC, and Manica Diamonds all still in danger of going down depending on the results of the final weekend.

The coming Saturday promises high drama as some of Zimbabwe's biggest clubs fight for their PSL lives.
