Meanwhile, at Rufaro Stadium Rodwell Dhlakama's Green Fuel held CAPS United to a nill all draw.

Sunday's match was the first for Dhlakama, who was appointed on Wednesday last week by the club.

For Dhlakama walking away with a point from Rufaro Stadium is confidence booster for his team which has been struggling for consistency before his arrival.

"For me its a massive result, the confidence of the boys had gone down after last week's heavy defeat to Triangle.

"So a draw against a big team like CAPS United will boost the morale," he said.

On the other end CAPS United coach Ian Bakala was not happy with the result as stating that his side did not play the way he had planned.

"We did not perform the way we wanted, but a point is much better looking at where we are.

"So, for now we just have to take this and focus on the coming game," he said.
