A section of Caps United fans on Saturday bayed for the blood of technical director Nelson Matongorere and his team after the Green Machine lost 1 – 0 against ZPC Kariba in a Castle Lager Premiership matchday 13 at Nyamhunga Stadium.

The fans tried to block the exit of the United players’ team bus as they sang songs denouncing the Makepekepe leadership while sympathizing with Lloyd Chitembwe whose absence again leaves a lot to be desired.

The coaches had to be rescued by the police who escorted them from the ground for safe exit.

No post match interviews could be conducted as a result.

The loss, third in the past four games, dented further their title aspirations after two title contenders, Chicken Inn and holders FC Platinum recorded victory each.

A late second half strike by Nigel Makumbe was all the Electricity Boys needed to secure maximum points.

United dictated the pace in the opening stanza with Phenias Bamusi, Newman Sianchali and Dominic Chungwa causing all sorts of havoc in the home side’s half.

Munyaradzi Nyakarimwe, Ian Nekati and James Marufu took matters into their own hands to ensure they thwart all raids being launched by the Green Machine.

With a little bit of luck, Makepekepe could have taken the lead on the half hour mark when Dominic Chungwa was set up by Phenias Bamusi from the left flank but Future Sibanda, in goals for Katuruturu, went airborne to ensure United is kept at bay.

At the breather, there were no changes on the scoreboard.

Upon resumption of the second stanza, Katuruturu came a more energetic side and created numerous chances.

Dividends finally paid 15 minutes before normal time when Nigel Makumbe fired home from inside the box and the lead stood to full time.
