Dynamos (0) 2 - (0) 1 CAPS United
STRIKER Roderick Mutuma grabbed a brace as Dynamos recovered from a goal down to pile the misery on rivals CAPS United in an exciting Castle Lager Premiership derby at the National Sports Stadium yesterday.

Mutuma was the hero for the Glamour Boys who had looked down and out after one of their former sons Evans Gwekwerere had put Makepekepe ahead in the 59th minute, to make the breakthrough following a slow start from both sides which produced no goals in the opening half.

CAPS, however, looked the hungrier of the two sides as they dominated the first half and created a lot of chances that went begging.

But as the game approached the hour mark Gwekwerere pounced when goalkeeper Washington Arubi spilled David Rediyoni's shot and, without room for mistakes in the penalty area, he struck the roof of the nets with a well taken shot to send the green half of the stadium into euphoria.

But the celebrations were cut short when Mutuma received the ball from the right flank and placed it beyond the reach of goalkeeper Edmore Sibanda in the 73rd minute.

He was back to his best again in the 88th minute when he controlled a pass from Martin Vengesai before beating Sibanda hands down with another low shot, which sent the blue half into delirium.

At least, fans from both sides left the giant stadium with some talking points from the match after the teams dished out a better show compared to a drab first leg which was won 1-0 by Dynamos through a fortuitous 88th minute strike from Tawanda Muparati.

Dynamos coach Lloyd Mutasa, who celebrated both goals with great excitement, was over the moon after the final whistle and said the team played well after watching his charges complete a double and maintain their two-year stranglehold in the famous Harare derbies.
