Dynamos first choice goalkeeper Simbarashe Chinani said they lacked character in their 1-0 defeat to city rivals CAPS United at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday.

Dynamos’ run of 19 games unbeaten was put to an end courtesy of the 39th minute Newman Sianchali header off a Valentine Musarurwa cross, in a lively Harare derby.

The win saw CAPS remaining on top, taking their tally to 58.
Chinani said they did not show character when it mattered the most.

“We lacked confidence that was our major setback. We were anticipating a positive result.

“The game did not go as we planned. Our performance was not all that bad.

We played very well but in football character is everything especially in big games like this one.
“That is the nature of the game, there can only be one winner,” said Chinani.

The match saw Dynamos coach Tonderai Ndiraya fielding junior players.H-Metro
