Harare Giants DYNAMOS are facing a $2 000 fine from the Premier
Soccer League (PSL), after their supporters threw
missiles on to the field of play in their team’s chaotic
1-1 draw with Yadah FC at Rufaro Stadium on
Sunday.

The Harare giants are going through their worst
possible form and their draw was their only third
point from a possible 18 this season.
Their woes are set to mount when the PSL
considers the transgressions of the Harare giants’
fans during the feisty encounter, which saw Yadah
finishing with 10 men after their captain Jimmy
Dzingai was red-carded for idiotically returning
missiles to the crowd.

The club was fined the same amount for a similar
offence last season.

According to the PSL’s Standing Order and Fines,
missile throwing by fans attracts a $2 000 fine for
the club.
Dembare supporters started raining missiles onto
the field in the first half, protesting a throw-in
decision that had gone against their team.
That incident would set the tone for the rest of the
match, causing countless stoppages during the
course.

The situation degenerated into chaos during the half-
time break when an police officer unintentionally
discharged a teargas canister, and the supporters
responded by pelting the law enforcement agents
with various objects and running battles ensued.

Yadah players’ delaying tactics, in particular
goalkeeper Steven Chimusoro, irked the home
supporters even more, and they would throw objects
in his direction every time he went down.
There was a long break of almost five minutes in the
second half, as the match officials battled to control
the fans, and during that time, Dzingai appeared to
be losing his head, and returned a water bottle that
had been thrown his way.

He was shown a straight red, and could be further
sanctioned by the PSL for his troubles.
Sadly, the chaotic events overshadowed the brilliant
goals that were scored on the day.

Exciting winger Leeroy Mavhunga got Yadah FC in
front with a brilliant goal when he collected the ball
outside his team’s box, before accelerating into the
Dynamos area, leaving Ocean Mushure and Godfrey
Mukambi for dead in the process.

He passed the ball to Simba Sithole, who knocked
the ball down back for the winger to smash home
first time, for a truly beautiful goal.
Kuda Kumwala’s equaliser was equally gorgeous.

The striker, often maligned by his own supporters,
received the ball with his back on goal, before
making a sharp turn to unleash a bullet shot that
went through Chimusoro’s hands- Newsday.
