Full time results: So today is Chicken Inn day as they have successfully flew over Bosso with a 1-0 lead after a Mahachi shot at 30′.

Caps United are a happy people today. Hwange is likely to turn ‘green’ with envy after losing 2-0 to the Green Machine.

Caps have to be grateful to Moses Muchenje and David Rediyoni who scored the two goals.

In Mutare, the Buffaloes have charged and trampled over Dynamos to leave the full time score at Buffaloes3 (2′ Sithole,Sibanda)

Dynamos 2 (Kawinga pen, Pakamisa). The Buffaloes must be saying to Dynamos, “to dine with Buffaloes, you better have big horns, guys”

The Rhinos might have expected a ‘triple’ score on Triple B FC, but it was not be. They all went home carrying zeroes. Black Rhinos FC 0-0 Triple B FC

Bosso/ Chicken Inn. In what could be the last chance for Bosso to equalise, Zibande’s header is punched away by Nyoni in 88″

As the matches draw towards their end, it is a frantic search for goals all over. Bosso is working extra hard to unpluck the feathers from Chicken Inn, but he chickens are flying and quacking all over Barboufields Stadium as they try to maintain their lead. The Dynamos camp is in turmoil. It appears the Mbare boys are not strong enough to defend themselves as Buffaloes continue to charge in the mountainous Mutare. FC Platinum and Motor Action, the action is at zero for both teams. Caps is jovial, at least they feel near to winning this one, they can smell victory in the green grass of National Sports Stadium as Hwange back peddles.

Bosso/ Chicken Inn– Zibande in, Njabulo out in 75″. Mahachi unleashing terror on trailing Bosso. Still Bosso 0- 1 Chicken Inn

Caps/ Hwange- Caps United is defending their 2 goal lead with all they have. They surely show they need to win this match by all means.

Buffaloes/ Dynamos Dembare is trailing behind as the Buffaloes charge with anger after throwing in another one to make it Buffaloes 3-2 Dynamos

Bosso/ Chicken Inn- The Chickens are depending on counter attacks as they duck and dive to maintain their ‘feather-thin’ lead on Bosso. 70″ played at Barbourfields.

It appears the platinum boys and the bulls are still trying to find out who is mightier than the other, as it is still Motor Action 0-0 FC Platinum.

Bosso/ Chicken Inn– Bosso makes substitution, Munawa in for Heritani at 65″

Caps/ Hwange- Hwange pressuring Caps, theyr probably need to turn the table on Caps here but Caps appear resilient, they do not want to lose the 2-0 lead and face another nightmare. but what is shocking is the rate at which Makepekepe is missing clear scoring chances here. Well, perhaps, being the green guys, someone told them it is not environment friendly to score many!

Bosso/ Chicken Inn– 53″played, Mthulisi misses right after a Tshuma set up.Bosso 0- 1 Chicken Inn.

Bosso/ Chicken Inn- Mudzingwa is substituted for Hilary (49″) whose effectiveness is doubtful.We can only wait and see what Kaindu has in mind with this substiution.

16:08 Second half has resumed for all the matches now.

Bosso/Chicken Inn- Bosso goes to half time trailing behind Chicken Inn. Bosso’s strategy to congest the midfield with Mthulisi, Hilary, Heruitani, Rio and Milton not working for Kaindu Will the Bulawayo gians rise and turn the tables on the chickens, in the next forty five minutes, the chickens will finally come home to roost.

The Mighty Bulls and the boys from the platinum rich Zvishavane, FC Platinum go to half time with a nil all draw.

Buffaloes/ Dembare- Dembare has missed penalty opportunities against Buffaloes and as they go to half time, it is Buffaloes 2- 2 Dynamos. Will the Buffaloes charge to victory, or will the Mbare boys resist being trampled on and wrestle victory from the horns of the Buffaloes. Let us all hold our breaths, for the next 45 minutes hold the verdict.

Caps/ Hwange go to half time with Caps leading 2-0, can they sustain the lead and change their fortunes in the Premier league, only the remaining 45 minutes of the match will tell.

Caps/ Hwange– Caps United pull a surprise and throws in 2 goals courtesy of Rediyoni and Muchenje, so it is now Caps 2- 0 Hwange here at the National Sports Stadium. 41″ played.

Dynamos gets a penalty, but it is saved.

Bosso/ Chicken Inn– Mahachi puts Chicken Inn ahead with a blinder from outside the box after 30′ of play. So it is Bosso 0- Chicken Inn 1

Buffaloes/ Dynamos– Buffaloes equalises to make it Dynamos 2-2

15:25– Motor Action/ FC Platinum scoreline 0-0 after 20″ played. Motor Action seems to have an upper hand over the Platinum boys. Buffaloes/ Dynamos match, Dynamos lead 2-1 after 20″ played.
