Four-Star Queens: Makaruse and Mandishara Run the Show as MWOS FC Rout Chitungwiza
MWOS FC Queens emphatically snapped their three-match winless streak with a clinical 4-0 demolition of Chitungwiza Queens in a Northern Region Women’s League clash at Chibuku Stadium on Sunday.
The visitors looked absolute class from the very first whistle, delivering a professional shift to completely run the show and secure maximum points on the road.
The deadlock was broken in just the seventh minute courtesy of a moment of sheer brilliance from Palatial Makaruse early doors.
Showing ice-cold composure, the forward brilliantly rounded the stranded goalkeeper before calmly slotting the ball into an empty net to hand her side a dream start.
That immediate breakthrough completely settled the dressing room’s nerves, allowing the Queens to dictate the tempo and starve the hosts of any meaningful possession.
Continuing to put the hosts to the sword, the relentless attacking pressure paid massive dividends again in the 29th minute.
Makaruse was the architect once more, embarking on a sensational mazy run to weave past three defenders before unleashing a venomous strike at goal.
The powerful effort rebounded kindly into the danger area, where Tawananyasha Mandishara showcased her elite poacher’s instinct to react quickest and tap home from close range.
That clinical finish effectively doubled the advantage, ensuring the Queens strolled down the tunnel at the interval with a highly comfortable 2-0 cushion.
Looking to keep their foot firmly on the gas, Head Coach Primrose Serima shuffled the pack at the restart, introducing Betty Pasipadana and Tadiwa Tunduwe in place of Stella Denya and Doreen Rugayo.
The tactical tweaks yielded an absolute masterstroke within sixty seconds of the referee blowing his whistle for the second half.
Mandishara seamlessly transitioned from goalscorer to provider, threading a perfectly weighted through ball into the path of Tunduwe.
The substitute made absolutely no mistake, providing a confident finish to make it 3-0 and effectively put the tie to bed.
With the three points safely in the bag, the dugout utilised their squad depth, throwing on Charlotte Chiyangwa, Kutenda Mwaremedza, Amanda Kamhau, and Tanaka Samanga to inject fresh legs.
The substitutions ensured the attacking momentum never dropped, culminating in a brilliant fourth goal in the 81st minute.
Mandishara was heavily involved once again, laying on a superb assist for Samanga, who capped off the afternoon’s scoring with a remarkably composed finish.
The Queens saw out the dying embers of the fixture with immense tactical discipline, keeping a vital clean sheet while completely nullifying the hosts’ attacking threat.
Delivering her post-match assessment, Head Coach Primrose Serima was absolutely buzzing with the comprehensive shift her squad put in.
“I am incredibly chuffed with the overall performance; the girls showed proper character, intent, and tactical discipline from the first whistle to the last,” the gaffer noted.
She was particularly pleased with how the squad translated the training ground routines onto the pitch, adding, “They executed the game plan flawlessly, remained switched on, and fully deserved the massive result.”
Having emphatically bounced back to winning ways, all attention now turns to their upcoming clash against Frankton Ladies as the Queens look to build a formidable run of form.
