Just like that Mayweather farce, we’re just relieved it’s now over

soon. The handful of Dynamos fans who paid $2 to watch this charade willed Mandiranga to his hat-trick but this was a stop —start 34 minute affair.

It was a relief to hear the sound of the final whistle.

Twice, Dynamos have stumbled when the chance to shoot to the apex of the standings was on offer, drawing 1-1 with Highlanders in a heated Battle of Zimbabwe and falling to 0-1 to CAPS United over the weekend. This is not exactly the way they would have wanted to ascend to the top of the tree but after coming unstuck against Bosso and Makepekepe the Glamour Boys will probably argue that the end justifies the means.

‘’We have always wished to feel how it is at the top and now that we are there the intention is to make sure that we stay there,’’ said Mutasa who was mobbed by Dynamos fans at the sound of the final whistle. The Dynamos gaffer gave Valentine Ndaba a run with five minutes remaining and the midfielder showed hunger that was lacking among his teammates, including Mukamba.

‘’Motivating the boys for this 34 minute game was a challenge because we came here leading 4-0 and you could see the complacency they went about business with. ‘’We gave Chapungu some chances and our goalie (Tonderai Mateyaunga) had to make some good saves. ‘’The good thing is we have safely negotiated this passage and now look forward to the next challenge against Bulawayo City in the Chibuku Super Cup,’’ said Mutasa.Maybe, who knows, those who gave us this charade had taken one too many of those Chibuku Scuds.
