Bantu Rovers got the three points on a 3-0 scoreline and that kept the race for the sole ticket to the country’s top league open to three teams, with four matches to the end of the season.
Tshintsha Guluva can still reach a potential 60 points if they win their remaining games as they now sit on 48 points, eight behind log leaders Bulawayo Chiefs who have 56 points.
Bulawayo Chiefs, who last week recalled coach Thulani Sibanda to replace Rahman Gumbo, kept the race alive with a 2-0 win over Zimbabwe Saints in Plumtree while second-placed Black Boots are still two points behind Chiefs after bottom-placed Rufaro Rovers also failed to fulfill their home game against the police side in Hwange.
Black Boots are now on 54 points.
Technosphere continued with their winning ways in the new season in Division One when they New West City out of the race with a 3-0 victory at the Portuguese Club.
Ajax Hotspurs, on their way to Division Two, brewed a shocker on Saturday when they edged Tsholotsho FC away from home, but they still languish in the relegation zone, second from the bottom with a paltry 19 points from 25 matches.
