The victory marked a triumphant start to their campaign, much to the delight of club president Pedzai ‘Scott’ Sakupwanya, who celebrated his birthday in style.

Despite a lackluster first half, Scottland FC’s star-studded lineup managed to secure all three points, courtesy of a late twist of fate. Coach Tonderayi Ndiraya’s tactical substitutions in the second half proved pivotal, as Panashe Mutimbanyoka, Sydney Urikhob, and Michael Tapera injected a fresh wave of energy into the team.

However, it was Triangle United who stole the show with their scintillating brand of football. Veterans Thabani ‘Scara’ Kamusoko, Ali Sadiki, and the impressive Bamara dictated the tempo of the game, leaving fans on the edge of their seats with their mesmerizing passing display.

In the end, a cruel twist of fate denied Triangle United a well-deserved point, as a defensive mix-up led to the decisive own goal. Scottland FC’s hard-fought victory may have papered over some of the cracks in their performance, but coach Ndiraya will be aware that there is still much work to be done.
