Mudzinza took all three points at Musongati's ground on Saturday, closing out a 3:0 victory in the fourth round of the League A regular season. The visitors had already established themselves as serious contenders, and this result puts them further ahead in the hunt. Musongati, meanwhile, remain rooted to the bottom of the table with just one point from three outings.
By then, Mudzinza had already shown they could string results together. A win over Panthères Noires, a narrow defeat to Le Messager Ngomzi, and another victory against Never Give Up Academy had put them sixth. Musongati's recent run told a different story — two losses in their last two games, including that 2:0 hammering at the hands of Bumamuru.
We had given Musongati the edge, putting 54 per cent on a home win. And here's the thing, the match simply went the other way. Mudzinza turned up and played the game a man up, taking control early and never letting go. The hosts were left exposed from the start.
After the whistle, the table tells the full story. Mudzinza sit on six points from three matches, still unbeaten at home and only trailing the leaders by a handful of points. Musongati are bottom, three points adrift of safety with two games remaining. It's a long way to go.
The visitors will take some confidence from the manner of their victory. They've now won two of three and lost just once, with that defeat coming against a side that finished above them. Musongati have not won since the opening matchday, and the pressure is mounting.
