MWOS FC Queens Run Riot in Eight-Goal Demolition of Harare City
MWOS FC Queens put Harare City Queens Cubs to the sword on Saturday afternoon, delivering an absolute masterclass in an 8-1 dismantling at the MWOS Ngoni Stadium in the Northern Region Women’s Soccer League.
Right from the referee’s first whistle, the hosts were entirely on the front foot, deploying a suffocating high press and moving the ball with a zip that left the visitors chasing shadows. Their intensity in the transition and fluid build-up play allowed MWOS to monopolise possession, keeping Harare City pinned deep inside their own half.
The deadlock was broken early doors by teenage sensation Belinda Mutsauri, who set the pitch alight with her attacking impetus. She ultimately bagged a sumptuous brace, terrorising the opposition backline with her direct running, fleet-footed dribbling, and sheer audacity in one-on-one situations.
Not to be outdone, Tawananyasha Mandishara proved to be an absolute menace in the 18-yard box, taking home the match ball with a clinical hat-trick. The talismanic forward displayed a poacher’s instinct, repeatedly capitalising on defensive lapses with her ghosting runs and dead-eyed finishing.
Merian Genti then joined the goal-scoring party to secure a phenomenal treble of her own. Operating brilliantly in the hole between the lines, she carved the visitors apart, dovetailing seamlessly with Mandishara to produce a relentless wave of attacking football that the Cubs simply had no answer for.
Even when Harare City managed to snatch a consolation goal from a set-piece routine, the result was never genuinely in doubt. In the midfield engine room, Stella Denya was pulling all the strings; her positional discipline and expansive passing range ensured MWOS effortlessly recycled possession and dictated the tempo of the tie.
After the interval, the Queens simply shifted through the gears, punishing every defensive lapse with ruthless efficiency. Overlapping full-backs and incisive vertical balls repeatedly breached a beleaguered Harare City rearguard, showcasing a side playing at the absolute peak of their powers.
Speaking to the press in the aftermath of the rout, the gaffer, Primrose Serima, offered a glowing assessment of her squad’s unwavering mentality and tactical discipline.
“The girls showed phenomenal character against a very dogged opponent,” the manager beamed. “I’m absolutely delighted with the shift they put in today and the sheer desire they displayed from the first minute to the last.”
Ultimately, this thumping 8-1 victory sends a resounding message to the rest of the division. MWOS FC Queens are a side brimming with confidence, tactical acumen, and devastating firepower, firmly establishing themselves as one of the most dangerous outfits in the campaign.
