Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Newly-crowned Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL) champions Ngezi Platinum Stars take on Harare giants Dynamos in the Chibuku Super Cup final at Baobab Stadium this Sunday.<\/p>\n

Ngezi will be targetting a league and cup double while for DeMbare, winning the trophy will show some progress after changing coaches midway through the 2023 season and finishing in third place on the log.<\/p>\n

According to The Sunday Mail<\/b>, Dynamos are yet to win the Chibuku Super Cup since the tournament\u2019s inception in 2014.<\/p>\n

This is their second appearance in the final after their 1-2 loss to Harare City at the National Sports Stadium in 2015.<\/p>\n

Ngezi won the competition in their debut season in 2016 and were also losing finalists in 2019 and 2021.<\/p>\n

The Glamour Boys have not won any silverware since the era of coach Kalisto Pasuwa, who left them in 2014.<\/p>\n

Dynamos coach Genesis Mangombe said the club \u201creally want to lift this trophy\u201d after losing 2-1 to relegation-threatened Yadah on the final day of the league programme.<\/p>\n

DeMbare fans were furious over the loss and are now demanding that Mangombe atone by winning the Chibuku Super Cup. Said Mangombe:<\/p>\n

We played against Yadah last week and we lost, which was not good at all. But it happens in football.<\/p>\n

But my boys now need to prove that Dynamos are still a big team by winning the Chibuku Super Cup.<\/p>\n

This game is very important for the club. We want to appease our fans and send a message to them that we can do it.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not going to be easy. Ngezi have the advantage of playing at home, so we will demand character from the boys.<\/p>\n

Ngezi Platinum Stars coach Takesure Chiragwi who was named the Premiership\u2019s Coach of the Year, said:<\/p>\n

We hope we finish on a high note, but it\u2019s not going to be easy against Dynamos.<\/p>\n

We are also playing in front of our fans and it would be nice to make them happy.<\/p>\n

Ngezi\u2019s key players include Soccer Star of the Year Qadr Amini, Golden Boot winner Takunda Benhura and goalkeeper and Soccer Star finalist Nelson Chadya.<\/p>\n

DeMbare has the midfield trio of Soccer Star of the Year runner-up Donald Mudadi, finalist Tanaka Shandirwa and the hard-working Junior Makunike, as well as rising forward Elton Chikona voted the Most Promising Player of the Year.<\/p>\n
