MWOS FC Back on Winning Track with Victory Over DZ Royal Stars, Eyes Set on Upcoming Clash Against Zambezi G & C
In a pivotal Matchday 30 encounter in the Northern Region Soccer League (NRSL), MWOS FC managed to secure a crucial 2-1 victory over DZ Royal Stars, keeping their title aspirations alive and well. Following a 1-1 draw against Chinhoyi Stars on Matchday 29, the Punters were eager to return to winning ways, showcasing a game marked by possession dominance and relentless pressure from the onset.
The deadlock was broken by the in-form striker, Everson Feremba, who continued his exceptional scoring streak by putting MWOS FC ahead in the 8th minute. However, the lead was short-lived as DZ Royal Stars found their way back into the game with an equalizer at the 32nd minute through a meticulously executed set-piece routine, leveling the score heading into halftime.
In response, MWOS FC’s head coach, Lloyd Mutasa, made strategic substitutions, bringing on Marcus Dan, Wisdom Mutasa, and Godfrey Manase to intensify the attack. Their efforts were rewarded when Feremba once again found the back of the net in the 63rd minute, sealing a 2-1 win for the Punters and securing all three points.
Despite the win, the gap between MWOS FC and their closest title rivals, Scottland, who also secured a victory against Shamva Mine FC, remains at seven points. With just eight games left in the season, the focus intensifies as MWOS FC prepares to face Zambezi G & C this Sunday. The upcoming match presents a prime opportunity for revenge, following a 1-0 defeat earlier in the season, and to maintain their unbeaten home record.
Head Coach Lloyd Mutasa remains steadfast, focusing solely on his team’s performance, undeterred by the results of title rivals. Confidence is high within the squad as key players are hitting peak form at the crucial tail end of the season. Feremba’s scoring prowess, coupled with Arthur Banda’s increasing threat in front of goal, signals a potent attack. The defensive partnership of Tendayi Evidence, Tafadzwa Nyabunze, and Tafadzwa George, shielded by the formidable Kelvin Shangiwa in goal, hints at more clean sheets to come. Midfield dynamo Malvin Mudzuka, along with Wisdom Mutasa and captain Chris Samakweri, continues to excel, further solidifying the team’s robust lineup.
As Matchday 31 approaches, all eyes turn to MWOS Ngoni Stadium, where MWOS FC will host Zambezi G & C on Sunday, September 29, at 15:00 hrs. A win would not only serve as a sweet revenge but also strengthen MWOS FC’s position at the summit of the NRSL, edging them closer to the coveted championship title.
