Matinha’s Wonder Strike Sends MWOS FC Back to the Summit

MWOS FC returned to the top of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League table on Sunday, thanks to a stunning goal from winger Nigel Matinha that left fans in awe.

With 37 minutes on the clock, Matinha unleashed a thunderous strike that soared into the top corner, beating last season’s goalkeeper of the year, Donovan Bernard, who was left rooted to the spot. The goal proved to be the only difference in a tightly contested match against a well-drilled Chicken Inn side and was enough to secure all three points for the Punters.

Head coach Lloyd Mutasa had high praise for the goal, suggesting it may be the best seen in the league so far this season. The veteran coach applauded Matinha’s technique and composure in executing such a spectacular finish, especially in a match that offered few clear-cut chances.

The win continues MWOS FC’s remarkable debut campaign in the top flight, with the team now three points clear at the top of the standings. The statistics reflect just how impressive their run has been: only two goals conceded in ten matches and seven clean sheets for Warriors shot-stopper Martin Mapisa. Reserve keeper Francis Tizayi also impressed with a clean sheet in last month’s clash against FC Platinum.

With six wins under their belt — the most in the league — MWOS FC’s story continues to captivate fans across the country. The next challenge comes in the form of in-form TelOne, who visit Ngoni Stadium this Saturday.
