Teen Prodigy Chaleka Fires MWOS U19s to Victory as Ngezi Test Looms

Farai Hanyani’s young MWOS FC charges sent a strong statement with their 2-1 opening victory over Chegutu Pirates, with young sensation Tinotenda Chaleka announcing his arrival in spectacular fashion with a match-winning brace.

The teenage striker’s clinical double showcased the kind of predatory instincts that have his coach convinced of bigger things to come. “He’s got everything needed to reach the very top—national team, big clubs—but the work starts now,” Hanyani told reporters.

Attention now turns to Thursday’s heavyweight clash against Ngezi Platinum’s academy side, with MWOS FC U19 looking to prove their surprise win was no fluke. “They’re experienced and well-organized, but we’ve identified areas we can exploit,” revealed Hanyani, whose side has been working on tactical adjustments all week.

The match promises to be a fascinating litmus test for MWOS’s young guns, with Chaleka’s movement and finishing likely to be key against Ngezi’s notoriously disciplined backline.
