Dynamos FC progressed to the first round of the 2025 Chibuku Super Cup tournament after beating Yadah FC 4-3 on penalties in the preliminary round. The match had ended in regulation time in a nil (0-0) score line, at Ngoni Stadium yesterday afternoon.
Dynamos FC hope for their revival after a miserable season where they found themselves seating precariously in an unfamiliar position in the current Zimbabwe Premier Soccer league(ZPSL) log standing.Dynamos are in position 17 with a mere 19 points after 24 games.They have won only 3 games so far,lost 11 games and drew 10.They are just above the bottom side Kwekwe United FC hoping for survival from the dreaded chop since they are lying in the muddy murky waters of the relegation zone.
A winning start for the former Highlanders forward and coach Kelvin Kaindu has brought smiles and hope for the Dynamos family in the hunt for survival and rejuvenation.
The new gaffer Kelvin Kaindu who was on the bench yesterday as the head coach after the suspension of Soul Chaminuka pending a disciplinary hearing after the alleged indiscipline and poor results as the head coach and DeMbare opted to appoint the former.
The Defending Champion who seemed to be losing focus after back to back defeats in the league converted four of their five penalties with only their prodigal son Denver Mukamba missing his spot kick after his effort was saved by Yadah goalkeeper Godknows Gurure.
Yadah Stars who were the home side at Ngoni Stadium managed to score only 3 of their penalties.Their captain Vincent Sango was in disbelief as his effort went over the bar whilst Takunda Vareta’s spot kick was saved by the Dynamos goalminder Tatenda Makoni to send the Glamour Boys to the first round of the 2025 Chibuku Super Cup.
