A jubilant fan, Luckson Ncube said, “We are proud that we managed to stop a strong team at Maglas, we never thought that we were going to win considering that we were not playing well lately.”
Bvaru – bvaru coach, Takesure Chiragwi thanked all the fans who thronged Maglas stadium to support his boys when they went past Ngezi Platinum.
“Fans are our 12th man they are our strength, I am very happy with their response. Today we are one family, if we are together we fight for one cause, we don’t have to fight each other or to point fingers at one another. If they continue singing like this the boys will be motivated and fight for their team,” he said.
