Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Manica Diamonds ran riot on Sunday to comprehensively defeat CAPS United in a Castle Lager Premiership match played at Sakubva Stadium.<\/p>\n

CAPS United conceded 6 goals in total, 5 of them coming in the first half, while they managed to put 2 past the Gem Boys\u2019 goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

Manica Diamonds scored through Charles Teguru (2\u2032), Lloyd Katongomara (18\u2032), Collin Dhuwa (24\u2032), Katongamara (36\u2032), Teguru (41\u2032) and Farai Mugumwa (59\u2032).<\/p>\n

William Manondo (57\u2032) pulled one back for the Green Machine, with Clive Augusto netting their second goal in the 61st minute but it was a case of too little too late.<\/p>\n

Both teams were reduced to 10 men after referee Arnold Ncube red-carded Katongomara and Valentine Musarurwa for exchanging blows in the 63rd minute.<\/p>\n

CAPS United coach Lloyd Chitembwe said the loss had nothing to do with the financial challenges that the club has been facing of late. He said:<\/p>\n

This is a terrible result. We had never expected it. We lost the match in the first half. They (Manica Diamonds) managed to win the game early.<\/p>\n

We just could not play our usual game and we paid dearly for the mistakes that we made along the way, especially in the first half.<\/p>\n

Well, the performance today was bad but it has nothing to do with the off the field challenges that the club has been facing.<\/p>\n

In fact, our situation has greatly improved and this is why I am saying the heavy defeat has nothing to do with the financial challenges that we faced in recent months.<\/p>\n

Manica Diamonds coach, Johanisi Nhumwa, expressed satisfaction with the victory and singled out Teguru for special praise. He said:<\/p>\n

I really want to thank my boys for this impressive performance. They really played well today and I am happy about that.<\/p>\n

When you look back at how Charles Teguru destroyed CAPS United you feel proud to have such a player in your team. Overall, all the players did well.<\/p>\n

We are not going to read too much into this victory since the league marathon is still a long way to go. We just need to keep our foot on the pedal.<\/p>\n
