TONDE’S SWANSONG?

CAPS United ................................................... (1) 1 Dynamos … ............................................ ……(0) 1

WAS this the final match for Tonderai Ndiraya at Dynamos?

The coach’s contract ends on December 31 this year and, according to him, there hasn’t been any negotiations for its extension.

Ndiraya was suspended earlier this year which, analysts believe, was the reason the Glamour Boys lost their way in the championship race.

They finished third, having led the marathon, during the season.

His 10-man team held rivals CAPS United to a 1-1 draw in the final match of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League at the National Sports Stadium yesterday.

For a change, this was an entertaining match despite the stadium echoing with emptiness as the Harare Derby recorded probably its worst attendance. William Manondo scored his 17th goal of the season, from the penalty spot, before the outstanding Emmanuel Paga headed home the equaliser in the final 10 minutes.

DeMbare also missed a penalty in the first half, which was probably poetic justice, given it was a very soft call.

Partson Jaure was then sent off.*
