Chicken Inn coach Rahman Gumbo got a timely reprieve as he saw his side pick up their first win from the last four matches by dimissing Tsholotsho at Luveve Stadium yesterday.
BY SPORTS REPORTER
It was the champions’ seventh win of the season in a match where they played most of the second half with 10 men after the dismissal of Obadiah Tarumbwa.
The GameCocks who have been a pale shadow of the side they were last season moved four steps up the league table with that win.
Midfielder Thabani Goredema scored the solitary goal in the 55th minute for Chicken Inn before chief striker Tarumbwa was shown the red card three minutes later for a second bookable offence.
Chicken Inn’s last win was the 2-0 triumph over Highlanders at Barbourfields Stadium on July 3 and yesterday’s win, took their points tally to 27 points.
