Bulawayo City 7-0 Binga Pirates BULAWAYO City maintained pole position in the Zifa Southern Region Division One league after they cruised to an emphatic victory over visiting Binga Pirates.

Hardworkin­g midfielder Physwell Madhazi struck a hattrick for the municipal side while Nqobile Ndlovu chipped in with a brace. The other goals came from Canaan Nkomo and Nkosinomus­a Khanye.

Across town at Crescent, Talen Vision beat Bosso 90 3-0 to keep close tabs on the log leaders. Vision got their goals from the league’s leading scorer Brian Muza, Adonis Nyoni and Moses Majika. Muza has now scored 14 goals in the league.

With just two games to the finish line, City are on 61 points from 26 games, three points ahead of Vision.

Talen Vision coach, Mkhuphali Masuku, insists that his side is still in the race to win the championsh­ip though they are three points behind the leader with just two games to play.

“We needed to redeem ourselves after our result last week and today it was a positive result for us. We managed to score three goals and get all the three points which is good. As a team we believe that we are still in it. We strongly believe that next year we will be playing in the Premier League,” he said.

Vision will host Casmyn next before wrapping up their season with a trip to Hwange for a clash with Makomo. City are left with a tricky trip to Mosi Rovers in Victoria Falls and a local derby with Arenel.

Meanwhile, league action continues this afternoon with third placed ZPC Hwange facing unpredicta­ble Casmyn while top four hopefuls Indlovu Iyanyathel­a play host to Moto Moto at Khumalo Barracks.
