Dynamos head coach Lloyd ‘Samaita’ Mutasa celebrated his 51st birthday in style as Dembare edged ZPC Kariba 1-0 on Sunday.

Mutasa turned 51 last week and got a perfect present when Emmanuel Mandiranga scored ten minutes into the second half to give the Harare Giants their first victory since the beginning of the second half of the season.

Dembare had last won in June against Nichrut.

“The youngsters played their hearts out to get this result. They wanted to win it for me, and I am grateful for that because what more can you expect from your players. Of course, I had not planned to celebrate it, but the boys did it for me,” said Mutasa.

Team manager Richard Chihoro also had something to enjoy as he turned 62 yesterday and celebrated with the players and the technical team after the match.

Sunday’s match also saw the return of Denver Mukamba whose loan deal with Caps United was terminated after going away without official leave.
