LITTLE Kiglon held their nerve until the end at Rufaro yesterday to force a share of spoils with Highlanders as both teams moved one place up the ladder on the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League table.<\/p>\n

Bosso are now fourth on the log with 24 points while Kiglon moved into 13th place with 15 points.<\/p>\n

Kiglon, fielding a virtually new squad, put up a brave fight and despite firing blanks for the entire 90 minutes, their coach Pearson Matipedza was happy with the result.<\/p>\n

The Harare side were last month dumped by 15 registered players and had to rush to sign “old war horses” ahead of the game.<\/p>\n

Matipedza, who inherited a difficult position following the sudden departure of coach Maxwell Jongwe Takaendesa last month, started from scratch.<\/p>\n

“This is a team that has been assembled hurriedly. Most of the players had deserted us and the prophets of doom had written us of.<\/p>\n

“Some of them were even here in the stadium but we have proved them wrong. It was hard for the team to play with so many enemies,” said Matipedza.<\/p>\n

Former Kiglon captain Charles Mukanhairi, Webster Chingodza, Danger Fourpence, Witness Nyamutsaka, Yves Ebabali, William Manondo, Charlton Mashumba, Tinashe Masika and Ngoni Maviri have left the club<\/p>\n

Hardworking midfielder Conrad Whitby’s is away and this left Kiglon with goalkeeper Tsungi Mudzamiri, wingback Bernard Gumbo and striker Last Chibwiro as the only core members of the team available.<\/p>\n

But frantic efforts were made on Tuesday to secure experienced players like Bernard Benesi Bvumbwe from Blue Ribbon, Black Mambas’ Casper Machona, Mudiwa Mususa and More Moyo from Gunners.<\/p>\n

“We are almost building a new team and More Moyo joined us just two days ago while Last had hardly been training.<\/p>\n

“But I am proud of the way the guys have played,” said Matipedza.<\/p>\n

Kiglon are set to face Highlanders at Barbourfields on Sunday and caretaker coach Matipedza hopes to see an improvement.<\/p>\n

Highlanders’ coach Mkhupali Masuku was rather disappointed with the two points dropped than the one point gained.<\/p>\n

Kiglon were too cautious during the match and employed delaying tactics to slow down the match.<\/p>\n

“What else can one expect when you play against a team that does not have any ambitions? But it’s all part of the game. They have nothing to play for and will be happy with a draw but we played well,” said Masuku.<\/p>\n

The Bosso coach said he was pleased with the first 15 games of the season and he is hopeful of a better second half.<\/p>\n

“I am happy that we got away with a point when playing away from home.<\/p>\n

“The position we have reached on the log is okay and I am confident that we will do well in the next 15 games,” said Masuku.<\/p>\n

Kiglon have not won in their last five outings after losing three matches to CAPS (5-1), Chicken Inn (3-1) and FC Platinum (2-0) while collecting two points from draws against Blue Ribbon and Motor Action.<\/p>\n

But Kiglon, who have earned a reputation of being giant killers in the Premiership, could have smiled at Rufaro with Moyo playing one of his best games this season.<\/p>\n

The veteran striker lasted the entire 90 minutes and was good in shielding the ball as well as creating chances for his teammates.<\/p>\n

Highlanders dominated the first quarter of the game with Lawson Nko-mo and Gift Lunga whipping in crosses that found no takers inside the box.<\/p>\n

Bosso’s skipper Gilbert Banda was allowed a free header, off a Nkomo corner kick, but sent the effort wide of Mudzamiri in the 22nd minute while Eric Mudzingwa sent his effort wide three minutes later.<\/p>\n

Rahman Kutsanzira carved open the Kiglon midfield as he weaved his way past Bvumbwe but skied his shot.<\/p>\n

Kiglon’s first real chance came when Moyo went past defender Innocent Mapuranga, wide on the left ,and enter-ed the box but he toe-poked the ball straight at goalkeeper Ariel Siban-da,who came off the line to narrow the angle. Highlanders allowed Kiglon to gain some confidence in the second half but both teams continued to miss chances.<\/p>\n
