MWOS FC Produce Commanding Display to Seal Chibuku Super Cup Quarter-Final Berth
MWOS FC delivered a statement performance at MWOS Ngoni Stadium, powering into the Chibuku Super Cup quarter-finals with a thoroughly deserved 2-0 victory over CAPS United in a pulsating encounter that ignited the home faithful.
The hosts signalled their intent from the outset, imposing a high-tempo rhythm that saw CAPS United having to do most of the defending. MWOS dictated the early exchanges, carving out clear-cut opportunities; Billy Veremu’s dangerous free kick forced a save, while Tafadzwa George saw a deft header expertly parried. George spurned another gilt-edged chance at 20 minutes, failing to control Abubakar Moffat’s incisive through-ball when clean through.
Relentless pressure from the Punters continued to pin the visitors back. Arthur Banda’s electrifying pace earned a promising set-piece in the 35th minute, though Moffat’s well-struck effort was gathered comfortably. CAPS United briefly threatened on the counter just before the interval, only to be denied by a correctly raised offside flag, ensuring the teams went in level at the break despite MWOS’s clear dominance.
The deadlock was shattered in spectacular fashion ten minutes into the second period. Nigel Matinha, atoning for his early caution, produced a moment of sheer quality, unleashing an unstoppable thunderbolt that nestled into the top-left corner, leaving the CAPS keeper rooted to the spot and sending MWOS Ngoni Stadium into raptures.
Seeking fresh impetus, MWOS introduced debutant Takudzwa Mutenheri in the 65th minute. The decisive second goal arrived late on, fittingly sealing the victory with another moment of long-range brilliance. Arthur Banda, a constant menace, rifled home an emphatic finish from a distance in the 86th minute, putting the result beyond any doubt.
The closing stages saw a historic moment as Ethan Tamson entered the fray, becoming the youngest-ever debutant in PSL history, alongside Tyrone Matongorere and Noah Simango. This commanding victory, found on a foundation of relentless industry, tactical discipline, and moments of clinical finishing, ensured that MWOS FC’s aspirations for the Chibuku Super Cup remain very much alive. The Punters march on with significant momentum.
