Rhinos Hold “Disjointed” Dembare

After watching another horror show from a very poor Dynamos that huffed and puffed at the Nationals Sports Stadium yesterday, Tonderai Ndiraya says if rules permitted, he would have loved to bring in more than five new players during the on-going transfer window.


In fact, DeMbare could have lost this one had referee Munyaradzi Majoni and his assistant Thomas Kusosa not conspired to deny Black Rhinos what appeared like a clear penalty in the 88th minute.


With the score tied at 1-1, Black Rhinos’ tricky winger Edgar Chigiji went down inside the box and assistant referee Kusosa, who was closer to the action, immediately waved his flag to signal a foul.


Referee Majoni went to the touchline to consult with Kusosa but the controversial official surprised everyone, even the Dynamos players, when he signalled a free-kick, which was subsequently taken from outside the box.


It was DeMbare who went in front after 26 minutes when substitute Jarrison Selemani, who had come in five minutes earlier for injured skipper Edward Sadomba, connected with a cross from newboy Evans Katema.


Rhinos responded from the spot five minutes later through Moses Demera who sent Simba Chinani the wrong way after referee Majoni had penalised Dynamos’ centre back Jimmy Tigere for a high boot on the lively Leeroy Murape.


It was a Rhinos show from then on as the army side dictated the proceedings with Dynamos players chasing shadows for most of the match.


The Dynamos midfield was disjointed, Godfrey Mukambi was totally off form while Selemani tried too much but with little success.State media
