Caps United 1 – 1 Tsholotsho

CAPS UNITED coach Lloyd Chitembwe’s decision to rest some of his senior players back-fired terribly when the champions had to scramble for a point in this Castle Lager Premiership tie against Tsholotsho yesterday at the National Sports Stadium.

The Green Machine had to come from behind to salvage a point after the visitors, who were reduced to 10-man, had found the lead in the first half through Nkosana Siwela in the 36th minute.

Caps United then levelled the terms in the 64th minute when defender Ronald Pfumbidzai headed home a delivery from Dennis Dauda for his second goal in as many matches.

But the champions’ decision to leave out Ronald Chitiyo, Hardlife Zvirekwi and captain Moses Muchenje from the starting line-up could have contributed to their challenges.
