DEBUTANTS, MWOS’ title credentials are under serious test after the Norton-based side suffered their first home loss and third defeat of the season to FC Platinum, going down 2–0.

After losing two away matches against Yadah and Ngezi Platinum, MWOS suffered their first home defeat at the weekend.

The defeat saw the Norton side losing ground on log leaders, Simba Bhora, whom they now trail by three points.

While it might be too early for the MWOS family to get worried, coach Lloyd Mutasa might need to put things right as soon as possible if he is to land the first title of his coaching career.

Away from MWOS, the defending champions Simba Bhora seem to be the team to beat, after opening a three-point gap with a 1-nil win over troubled Dynamos.

On the other hand, ambitious Mabvuku-based side, Scottland, came from behind to edge Bulawayo giants, Highlanders 2-1 in a pulsating Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match day 21 encounter at Rufaro Stadium this Sunday.

After being awarded three points for their abandoned match against Chicken Inn a few weeks ago, Scottland did not waste the opportunity to move closer to the leading pack, thanks to Terrence Dzvukamanja’s brace.

The Warriors forward has proved to be an instant hit for Mabviravira after joining them during the mid-season window from South Africa.

Scottland are now on 37 points, while TelOne complete the top four with 34 points.

The bottom four comprises of inconsistent Manica Diamonds with 21 points, league returnees Triangle United with 20 points, fading giants Dynamos with 15 points and struggling newcomers, Kwekwe United with nine points.
