FC Platinum made a huge statement in their quest to win a maiden Castle Lager Premiership title, showing great character to come from behind to beat serial champions Dynamos in a thriller at Mandava yesterday. FC Platnum won 3 to 1.
Norman Mapeza and his men completed a double over the Glamour Boys after beating DeMbare in the reverse encounter in the capital. The game turned on its head with just four minutes of regulation time left when Rodwell Chinyengetere headed the hosts into the lead.
Then, former DeMbare star Brett Amidu sealed the points for FC Platinum in the 90th minute. Kelvin Moyo had headed an equaliser for the hosts in the 34th minute, while Tawanda Macheke had thrust DeMbare into the lead after eight minutes. Amidu did not celebrate his goal.
“I was at Dynamos. They nurtured me and I felt that it was not good for me to celebrate the goal. It was a good strike yes, but remember I was playing for Dynamos,’’ he said.
“There were fans who travelled and I did not want to hurt their feelings further. I am a football player and one day I might find myself playing for Dynamos. It was good that I scored and I hope to continue scoring. It was also good that I played the full match and I hope to keep working hard to command a place because there is competition at Platinum.’’
“I am happy with the way the new signings acquitted themselves. I urge fans to support them because they need time and also the fans must not whistle when we make substitutions,’’ said Mapeza. “When we pulled out Sadiki, it was because he was suffering from cramps. When we are on the technical bench we will be communicating with these players. herald
