2023/24 PSL Results And Fixtures For Matchday 15

Castle Lager Premier Soccer League champions FC Platinum goalkeepers’ coach Tembo Chuma has reportedly abandoned his duties following an alleged fall-out with head coach Norman Mapeza.
Goalkeeper Petros Mhari has been taking his colleagues through their paces in Chuma’s absence.
The <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/implosion-rocks-fc-platinum-technical-bench/">Chronicle</a> reported that Chuma returned to Zvishavane on Tuesday ahead of a meeting with the club’s executive either this Thursday or on Friday.
Mapeza and Chuma reportedly had a fallout when the technical team held a meeting sometime last month.
The coach reportedly demanded to know from Chuma why the team was conceding a lot of goals. By then, after 10 games, FC Platinum had conceded 11 goals. Said a source:
<blockquote>
In his response, Chuma said that the reason why was because of inadequate pre-season preparations, but assured the head coach that as the season progressed, guys will pick up.
However, that wasn’t acceptable to Mapeza who stated point-blank that he cannot continue working with Chuma. That position came as a shock to everyone.
</blockquote>
Chuma remains the only goalkeeper’s coach in the country to have produced five goalkeepers of the year in three different clubs inside a decade.
He was the goalkeepers’ coach of the following goalkeepers when they were voted PSL Goalkeeper of the Year: Ariel Sibanda (Highlanders) in 2012, Munyaradzi Diya (Highlanders) in 2013, Tendai Hove (ZPC Kariba) in 2014, Ariel Sibanda (Highlanders) in 2018, and Wallace Magalane (FC Platinum) in 2022.

Mapeza Clashes With FC Platinum Goalkeepers’ Coach

Highlanders Football Club (Bosso) defeated their neighbours, Bulawayo Chiefs, on Sunday afternoon to top the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL) table. M Ndlovu’s goal in the 19th minute secured the three points for Highlanders.
In another match, Dynamos Football Club (Dembare) beat ZPC Kariba by three goals to nil, with goals from Chakona (1), Mudadi (2).
Hwange lost to Manica Diamonds, who secured their victory through a goal from Binzi in the 4th minute.
Green Fuel also lost to reigning champions, FC Platinum, with Mutimbanyoka scoring the only goal for the Zvishavane-based club in the 59th minute.
On Saturday, Cranborne Bullets defeated CAPS United by two goals to one, with goals from S Munhira and Manokore. CAPS United got their consolation goal from Manondo. 
Chicken Inn beat Black Rhinos by a goal to nil, while Sheasham played a nil-nil draw against Herentals. Simba Bhora drew with Triangle United in a 1-1 match, with A Manenji scoring for Simba Bhora and A Makopa for Triangle.
On Monday 05 June 2023, Yadah will face off against Ngezi Platinum at the National Sports Stadium. Ngezi have a chance to top the table if they win their game in hand since they are trailing Hilanders by two points.

Ngezi Platinum Stars Go Top With 2-0 Win Over FC Platinum

Castle Lager Premier Soccer League defending champions FC Platinum are hoping to knock CAPS United off their perch when the two sides meet at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday.
CAPS United have kept clean sheets in all of their opening matches of the current campaign which has propelled them to the summit of the league.
Makepepeke, who are led by coach Lloyd Chitembwe, beat Manica Diamonds and were held to a goalless draw by Ngezi Platinum Stars in Mhondoro in their first two matches, respectively.
They then beat ZPC Kariba and Black Rhinos in the other two matches.
However, FC Platinum get into the high-profile fixture in mourning following the death of Platinum Queens’ netball star Sbekezelo Ncubewho died suddenly on Thursday.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/sport/article/200010203/platinum-primed-to-burst-caps-bubble">NewsDay</a>, FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza said he hoped the tragedy won’t affect the players in tomorrow’s match. He said:
<blockquote>
It hasn’t been easy for us. We lost one of our sisters from the Platinum Queens. We are trying to cope with the situation.
Everyone is down following the development. We have been preparing well. We know the challenge.
CAPS United have been playing well, playing brilliant football.
They haven’t been conceding. They are well organised in every department. It’s not to be easy. It’s all about mental strength.
My biggest fear is I hope the boys won’t be affected by what happened yesterday. We are going to try and get a result against all odds.
</blockquote>
When the two sides last met, the match ended 2-2 in October 2022. FC Platinum had won 3-0 at Mandava Stadium in the other fixture.

PSL Results: Highlanders Beat FC Platinum

FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza said that his team is not ready to take part in the CAF Champions League and should use the current FIFA ban to build a team that can compete at that level.
Pure Platinum Play, who won the Premier Soccer League title in the past four seasons, is still far behind other regular CAF Champions League perennial contenders, according to Mapeza. He said:
<blockquote>
It’s sad for our football but l have to be honest, as much as we want to compete in the CAF Champions League, we are still lagging behind.
If Zimbabwe was not suspended by FIFA we were going to play but deep down in my heart l know we are not ready for that stage. I have seen top teams in Africa and we are not at that level.
If you look at Morocco and where they are in terms of football, they are too far away.
What their national team did at the World Cup shows a clear picture of the work they are doing. We are still far behind.
</blockquote>
Mapeza said his current squad is still young and needs time to grow and be in a position to take on continental powerhouses. He said:
<blockquote>
Of course, we want to go to the African Safari but does it make sense for us to go out there and get hammered five or six goals, what will people say? We are not yet ready.
We have to start from somewhere and go step by step up the ladder. In football, it’s like a graph you start from stage zero going up.
We don’t want to go there when l still feel we are not there yet. We can talk of getting experience but do you think you can get experience when you get hammered 10, psychologically you all get affected.
The squad we had in 2018 l feel if they were still here we could have gone far but these guys we have now are still young.
There will be time l feel now we have a squad that can go there and gives us what we want.

FC Platinum Thanks Fans For "Unwavering" Support

Zvishavane-based FC Platinum (FCP) was crowned Castle Lager Premier Soccer League champions on Saturday afternoon at Mandava Stadium.
Light rains engulfed Mandava Stadium during the trophy presentation that was done after the final whistle.
FCP was confirmed as the 2022 PSL champions a few weeks ago after opening up an unassailable lead at the top of the table but the coronation had to wait until its final game of the season.
Pure Platinum Play was on Saturday crowned the champions for the fourth time in a row, finishing the season in style after beating Cranborne Bullets 3-0.
Two of the goals were scored in the first half, by Walter Musona and Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya, and Panashe Mutimbanyoka scored the third goal in the second half.
Speaking to reporters after the match, Mapeza said the latest championship is more special. He said:
<blockquote>
This was a special one because we did it with a relatively young squad.
In 2018, we had a fantastic squad but this time we had to fuse in some new players and it feels special.
Sometimes you won’t feel happiness because you are always working hard.
The second half of the season was all about hard work… it was about planning, and sourcing information about other teams.
This is a massive achievement for the club and it’s good for the community.
</blockquote>
FCP has now won four PSL titles in a row, joining Dynamos and Highlanders, who are the only other Premiership sides to achieve that feat.
Pure Platinum Play is now the only side from outside Harare and Bulawayo to win four straight titles.
This one was also Mapeza’s fourth career championship title as a coach.
He won his first with Monomotapa in 2008, before winning three titles with FC Platinum in 2017, 2018 and 2022. | <a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/fc-platinum-crowned-champions">The Sunday Mail</a>

Chibuku Super Cup First Round Results

Dynamos coach Tonderai Ndiraya has commended his players for holding champions FC Platinum to a goalless draw in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match played at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
FC Platinum had come into the match on the back of an impressive run that gave them the longest winning streak by any team this season, scoring 16 goals and conceding none.
Speaking after the match, Ndiraya expressed disappointment for failing to close the gap to FC Platinum and Chicken Inn but said he was satisfied with the team’s fighting spirit. He said:
<blockquote>
We really wanted to close the gap between us and our rivals but that did not happen. So I’m a little bit disappointed, but not entirely disappointed because of the manner we played today.
We were playing a good side, a formidable side. It’s not a secret that they had gone on a match-winning streak and for us to stop that run and compete the way we did; I think it’s quite commendable.
So from that angle, I want to give credit to the players for the shift that they put in today.
It was a good shift. I thought we also created better chances than them. But again we continue to mourn about the chances we create and fail to convert. So I’m a bit disappointed from that end.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza said he was happy with the point and clean sheet but conceded that the match lacked quality. Said Mapeza:
<blockquote>
It’s a point gained for us but there’s nothing to talk about in terms of football. We never created opportunities. Dynamos the same thing, they never had opportunities.
There’s nothing to talk about football, nothing to talk about it, save for those soft free kicks which were given to Dynamos.
Maybe those were the turning points for the game but for the rest, there’s nothing to talk about.
But for us, it’s a massive point gained. Another clean sheet, we move forward. We now shift our concentration to our game against ZPC.
</blockquote>
Dynamos and FC Platinum have failed to score against each other this season as the reverse fixture also ended in a barren draw at Mandava Stadium earlier in the season.

Dynamos' Winless Streak Continues As FC Platinum Extends Lead In Title Race

Cranborne Bullets coach Nesbert Saruchera has tipped FC Platinum to win the 2021-22 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League title, which will be the club’s fourth in a row.
FC Platinum have opened a two point lead at the top of the log after last weekend’s match-day 19 round of fixtures.
The Norman Mapeza-coached side, which hosts Bulawayo Chiefs this weekend, has won its last six matches to leapfrog Chicken Inn at the top of the league.
Saruchera believes the Zvishavane-based club, who have lost just once in their last 10 matches, winning nine, are the favourites. He said:
<blockquote>
On current form, I believe the title is FC Platinum’s to lose.
The race features just the three teams at the top. One of them is definitely going to win it.
Although it’s too early to make a definite call, I don’t see any miracle happening.
I see the top position changing hands between the top three teams but FC Platinum have the momentum and if they can maintain their current form they will win it.

FC Platinum are now on 40 points followed by 2015 champions Chicken Inn two points behind and Dynamos five further behind in third.
FC Platinum could widen the gap to Chicken Inn to five points if they overcome Bulawayo Chiefs at Mandava Stadium in Zvishavane this Saturday.
Bulawayo Chiefs, however, won the reverse fixture 2-0, which is one of the three losses that FC Platinum have suffered so far this season.
FC Platinum’s only other defeats were against Herentals College and Ngezi Platinum Stars.

Nesbert Saruchera Tips FC Platinum For Title

The Zvishavane Town Council (ZTC) has leased Mandava Stadium to platinum miner, Mimosa Mine for 25 years.
This was revealed during a council assessment seminar held last week after the community requested to use the facility for their social sporting activities.
The community was left with no option but to look for other sporting facilities in the town.
Speaking to The Mirror, Zvishavane town council vice-chairperson Charity Mundoka said that the local authority was in the process of constructing another stadium. She said:
<blockquote>
We know the shortage of sporting facilities in Zvishavane, but as we speak, we are in the process of constructing a stadium in Highlands. Mandava stadium was leased to FC Platinum for 25 years.
</blockquote>
Mandava Stadium used to be a community stadium, but it has been leased to FC Platinum (FCP) since its inception in 2011.
FCP plays in the Premier Soccer League and is bankrolled by Mimosa Mine.
Another stadium in Zvishavane, Maglas Stadium, is the official home ground for Shabanie FC.

Zvishavane Leases Mandava Stadium To Mimosa

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has fined Highlanders US$6 000 for the violence and hooliganism which marred their match with FC Platinum at Mandava Stadium on 23 April.
The match was awarded to the defending champions on a 3-0 score, the PSL announced on Wednesday. The PSL said:
<blockquote>
The Premier Soccer League Disciplinary Committee has released the judgement in the matter involving Highlanders FC following acts of crowd trouble that took place at Mandava Stadium on Saturday 23 April 2022.
The club was found guilty of violating PSL Rules and Regulations and fined a sum of USD 6000-00 (Six Thousand Dollars).
The fine together with the costs of the hearing is to be paid within 15 days from the date of the judgment.
Further, the match has been forfeited and awarded to FC Platinum on a 3 nil score line.
</blockquote>
The two teams were level 1-1 when FC Platinum was awarded a penalty by referee Kuzivamwari Jaravaza.
Jaravaza ruled that Highlanders defender Peter Muduhwa had fouled FC Platinum forward Walter Musona inside the penalty box with a few minutes remaining on the clock.
However, Highlanders players and officials contested the decision, arguing that the coming together of the two players had occurred outside the box and therefore merited a free-kick and not a spot-kick.
Highlanders supporters then invaded the pitch in protest, forcing the match officials to abandon the match.
FC Platinum who have been tied on 31 points with Dynamos before the ruling, moved to second in the Premier League with 34 points from 17 matches, one point behind leaders Chicken Inn.
Meanwhile, Highlanders remain in 10th position from 16 matches after amassing 20 points.

Highlanders Fined US$6 000 For Mandava Stadium Violence

FC Platinum head coach Norman Mapeza has criticised the Premier Soccer League (PSL)’s decision to take only a two-week break this month arguing that a four-week break would have been ideal.
PSL authorities announced on 1 June that the topflight league will take a two-week break after Matchday 17 fixtures played from 3 to 5 June and resume on 25 June 2022.
Speaking to NewsDay Sport after his side had beaten Cranborne Bullets 1-0 in Mutare on Saturday, Mapeza said:
<blockquote>
The decision to go on a two-week break does not make sense. What’s the rush? Where are we rushing to? If we break for two weeks then what?
They should have given us the whole of June and then we come back in the first week of July.
Imagine I am giving them (players) a break after this game and they have to come back on the 14th.
</blockquote>
The PSL did not give reasons for the break considering that Zimbabwe is currently banned by FIFA from taking part in international football tournaments.
In any case, the two-week break doesn’t necessarily coincide with the FIFA international break which runs from 30 May to 14 June 2022.
FC Platinum won their last four consecutive matches against CAPS United, Yadah, Triangle and Cranborne Bullets.
The platinum miners last tasted defeat against Herentals on 30 April.

Mapeza Criticises PSL Over "Short" Two-week Break

FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza said that his youthful squad has bigger ambitions than settling for a top-four finish in the 2022 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season.
FC Platinum are six points behind league leaders Chicken Inn.
Speaking at his press briefing ahead of a potentially tough tie against Triangle FC at Mandava Stadium in Zvishavane this Saturday, Mapeza said:
<blockquote>
We are not just fighting to finish in the top four, but we are playing to see how good the season ends for us.
FC Platinum had a lacklustre start to the season after letting go a number of senior players in a rebuilding exercise.
</blockquote>
However, they have since revived their hopes of winning a fourth title on the bounce as the youthful players are gaining confidence.
Mapeza said Triangle, who are three points ahead of FC Platinum, cannot be taken for granted. Said Mapeza:
<blockquote>
We are playing a very good team, Triangle, they are doing well which means it’s not going to be an easy match.
We have to pick up from where we left when we played against Yadah in Harare.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, Triangle coach Jairos Tapera said the enforced two week-break could affect his team’s rhythm and alleged bad officiating at the home of FC Platinum.

FC Platinum Appoints New General Manager

Highlanders supporters disrupted a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League clash against FC Platinum at Mandava Stadium on Saturday resulting in the abandonment of the match.
Bosso fans were incensed when referee Kuzivakwashe Jaravaza awarded FC Platinum a penalty eight minutes before full time when the scores were 1-1.
The Highlanders supporters invaded the pitch with the intention of attacking match officials, Jaravaza and assistant referee Albinos Zigwati who were involved in the decision.
Police officers then fired tear gas in a bid to disperse the irate fans forcing match officials to abandon the match.
Highlanders are likely to be sanctioned by the Premier League (PSL) for failing to control their fans.
The referee awarded the penalty in the 82nd minute after Highlanders defender Peter Muduhwa pulled down Walter Musona just outside the box.
The decision infuriated Bosso fans, while Highlanders players also refused to resume play after the decision.
This is not the first time that Highlanders fans have forced the abandonment of a PSL match against FC Platinum at Mandava Stadium.
In May 2017, a match between the two clubs at the same venue was abandoned after Ralph Matema had brought down FC Platinum striker, Charles Sibanda, seemingly in the area, with Petros Mhari converting the spot-kick, reported <a href="https://www.soccer24.co.zw/2017/05/29/30687/">Soccer24</a>.
Police fired teargas to try and control the crowd leading to more violence, with players, the media and fans all not being spared before the game was abandoned.
The incident occurred only weeks after Highlanders’ match against Dynamos was also abandoned following crowd trouble after a Dynamos goal, seemingly scored from an offside position, was granted.

Castle Lager Premiership Results, Fixtures

The much-anticipated Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match between FC Platinum and Dynamos ended goalless at Mandava Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
This was the first meeting between the two clubs since the Chibuku Super Cup semi-finals at Baobab Stadium which FC Platinum won 1-0 en route to winning the title.
In the early stages of the match, Petros Mhari denied Evans Katema after he connected Emmanuel Paga’s cross.
FC Platinum followed up with a quick counter-attack, but Brian Banda failed to finish the move.
DeMbare dominated possession for long spells afterwards and created a couple of big chances with captain Patson Jaure failing to beat Mhari in a 1-v-1 in the 23rd minute.
Ralph Kawondera also had a shot at goal but was denied by Mhari. The game went to the break with both times tied at 0-0.
The second half followed a similar pattern to the first but things became heated up towards the hour mark.
Match officials were forced to stop the match for about five minutes after FC Platinum fans clashed with their Dynamos counterparts.
Both sides seemed to retreat and continued concentrating the play in the midfield with just flashes of attacks on either end.
The biggest chance of the match was to fall to FC Platinum’s Thando Ngwenya in the 75th minute but he blasted his effort over from a few yards out.
The scoreline remained unchanged, and the game finished goalless.

FC Platinum, Dynamos In Goalless Draw

FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza has described Dynamos as a “massive club” ahead of a Castle Lager Premiership football match against the Glamour Boys at Mandava Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The platinum miners would naturally want to immediately bounce back to winning ways following the defeat away to Bulawayo Chiefs last weekend.
Speaking ahead of the match against Dembare which has been brought forward to 1 PM kick-off, Mapeza said:
<blockquote>
It’s a massive game for us as a club. As you know Dynamos, they are who they are; a massive club in the country and we have so much respect for them.
They have got a rich history in Zimbabwean football but at the end of the day, it’s a game of football.
If you look at our past records, I think they have been the dominant side but this is a different ball game altogether now, a new season.
</blockquote>
FC Platinum and Dynamos last met in the Chibuku Super Cup semi-finals at Baobab Stadium, with the former winning 1-0 en route to winning the title.
Reflecting on the loss to Bulawayo Chiefs last weekend, Mapeza said he wasn’t really disappointed by the loss. He said:
<blockquote>
I wasn’t really disappointed that we lost to Chiefs because of circumstances that were beyond our control.
But I was happy with our performance and with four-five games to come, I think everybody will be in good condition to perform better.
There were some situations where I think we did very well against Chiefs but also there were some moments that I think we could have done better in terms of our defending.
We conceded two goals in the first half in the space of 15 minutes and then in the second half, it happened again.
So tomorrow (today) it’s all about maximum concentration because if we are going to concede early it will be difficult for us.
</blockquote>
FC Platinum has released several senior players, among them Silas Songani, Stanley Ngala, Rahman Kutsanzira, Kelvin Madzongwe, Donald Ngoma, Rodwell Chinyengetere, Denzel Khumalo, Donald Dzvinyai and Ralph Kawondera.
Mapeza however, retained experienced players like Gift Mbweti, Rainsome Pavari, Donald Teguru while Walter Musona returned from South Africa.
Young players on FC Platinum’s books include the likes of Panashe Mutimbanyoka, Oscar Bhebhe, Kelvin Mangiza, Thando Ngwenya, Hagiazo Magaya and Nigerian Abubakar Onifadeh.

Match Against Dynamos 'Massive' - Mapeza

FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza has said he is proud of his players’ fighting spirit after they drew 0-0 away against Angola’s GD Sagranda Esperance.
Said Mapeza:
<blockquote>
“I am proud of how my guys played, it was not an easy game considering the fact that we were playing a team which has been very competitive. They have been playing football regularly for the past year. The boys played really well despite us only training for three weeks. It was a massive performance from the boys. It was a good game of football.
We just hope when we play them at home on Saturday we will be able to get a positive result.”
</blockquote>
FC Platinum will face GD Sagranda Esperance at home this Saturday (18 September) at the National Sports Stadium.
