Caps United lost 2-1 to Triangle on Sunday at Gibbo Stadium, a day after their players almost boycotted the trip to the Lowveld due to unpaid allowances and winning bonuses and in the process failed to close the gap on Dynamos, who drew 1-1 against Chapungu at Rufaro.

The Green Machine, under Taurai Mangwiro, also failed to move into second place after ZPC Kariba were disconnected 2-0 by Platinum on Saturday, to take Pure Platinum Play’s unbeaten run in the league to four matches (10 points from a possible 12).
