Mucheke Stadium-Masvingo United Football Club maintained their spot as joint log leaders with FC Hunters following a decisive 1nil victory over Tongogara FC.

They resorted to long balls which could not trouble the Tongogara defence.
The visitors also created their own fair share of chances which could not yield results.
The breakthrough for Una Una came in the 37th minute when Agrippa Murimba was felled inside the box to earn a penalty for Una Una.
Murimba dusted himself and coolly converted from the spot to give Una Una the advantage heading into the half time break.
The second half saw the visitors seeking an equaliser but Una Una goalkeeper Valentine Chibwana pulled up outstanding saves.
Una Una could have scored a second but their strikers missed from point blank range.
Tongogara had a player sent off for a second yellow card but Una Una could not turn their numerical advantage into goals.
One nil it ended with Una Una maintaining joint top spot with FC Hunters whom they trail due to an inferior goal difference.
Masvingo United spokesperson Omen Mafa said they have finally got their revenge over Tongogara who beat Una Una in the reverse fixture.
“Another 3 points in the bag. It was a revenge match. They humiliated us in the first fixture. However, they gave us the run for our money.
We wanted more goals but we are happy with the 3 points.
We remain in the race. Our focus is on our next assignment at Maramba Stadium. We urge our supporters to travel and rally behind the team.” said Mafa.
