Dynamos Academy in blue against  Passion Christly Academy at Gwanzura Stadium

Zifa Harare Province Soccer  League known as Division Two League  with  two leagues A and B matches kicked off  its 2924 season on weekend with Dynamos FC  Academy beating Passion Christly Academy 1 nil in at Gwanzura Stadium Saturday.

Coaches from both teams  rued the chances missed by the youngsters but believe because it was the first game, they will improve. The field was slippery in some spots making it difficult for players to control the game.The grounds caretaker had watered the ground  before the match but lack of grass in some spots made the water not to sink  immediately .

Wayne Nhapi gave Dynamos Academy the lead through a free kick in the first half and  that was the scoreline at the end of the day.

Dynamos goal keeper  Desire Jerera made a good save in the late first half when he tipped off Passion Christly Academy striker Simon Chivasa’s brilliant cross over the bar.

After the breather, not to be outdone  Passion Christly  Academy goal keeper also tipped off a good shot from Dynamos Academy striker immaculately.

Although Passion Christly Academy introduced four substitutes  in the second half, the change was not much noticeable as Dynamos also introduced three  substitutes.

The match was tense at the end as crude tackles were being taken  and the referee was left with no option but to give yellow cards.


The Justin Bingadadi led Dynamos Academy assistant coach Watson Sarupinda  said his boys did not play well. ‘’ The ground was not good and the boys did not play well . I think  because it is our first game  so they will improve as the season progress’’, Sarupinda said.

Passion Christly Academy coach Farai Chikuse was not much discouraged with the results. ‘’ We missed a lot of chances. We should have won the game but I can say good game to Dynamos and tough luck to Christly Passion. We can win the next game. We lacked in shooting. Being beaten 1-0is of no pressure as it is our first game,” Chikuse said.
