Zimbabwe: Mapeza Challenges Scottland FC Players to Maintain Momentum After Victory Over Caps United

SCOTTLAND FC head coach Norman Mapeza has challenged his players to maintain their winning momentum after securing a convincing 2-0 victory over rivals CAPS United in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match played at the National Sports Stadium (NSS) Sunday.

The win strengthened Scottland's position in the league standings, as the team leapfrogged from position four to position two with 28 points, the same with log leaders Hardrock FC.

Speaking after the match, Mapeza said the three points were important, but the team must remain focused on collecting more victories as the season progresses.

"We are happy with the result because it was an important game for us, but this is just one match.

"We need to keep winning and continue working hard, like i have always said it's a process and we slowly building," said Mapeza.

Scottland has now gone for five games without a defeat, making themselves one of the few clubs which avoided a defeat in the month of May.
