Chicken Inn..........................................(2) 4 TelOne.................................................. (1) 1 CHICKEN Inn might not have won the 2019 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League championsh­ip but they secured second spot with a demolition of TelOne a Barbourfie­lds yesterday.

IT was a bad result for TelOne who were relegated from the PSL after just one season in the country’s top league.

With the news that Zimbabwe could get two more slots in the 2020/2021 CAF inter-club competitio­ns, giving the country four representa­tives, Gamecocks will probably be preparing for an African sojourn thanks to the four goals that were scored by Innocent Muchaneka, Valentine Kadonzvo, George Majika and substitute Sipho Ndlovu. Muchaneka converted his goal from the penalty spot in the second minute.

Kadonzvo made it two for Chicken Inn in the 40th minute with a close-range effort after a beautiful exchange of passes with hard running Obriel Chirinda. A goalkeepin­g howler in the 86th minute by Raphael Pitisi saw Majika register his name on the score sheet after letting loose a curling free kick with his deadly left foot that reduced Pitisi to a villain After making a solo run from the middle of the park, Ndlovu made it four Gamecocks two minutes into referee’s optional time.

The Wifi-Boys got their face saver through veteran Jacob Muzokomba who nodded home a well taken Marvelous Chigumira free kick in the sixth minute.
