Castle Lager Premier Soccer League debutants MWOS finally tasted defeat for the first time this season, falling 3-1 to former champions Ngezi Platinum Stars in a high-stakes clash at Baobab Stadium on Monday.
MWOS had gone an impressive 16 matches unbeaten, a run that included statement victories over giants Highlanders, Dynamos, CAPS United, and Scottland.
However, their dream streak came to an end at the hands of Takesure Chiragwi’s clinical Ngezi Platinum side.
Chiragwi, no stranger to halting momentum, had earlier handed Scottland their first loss of the campaign at Rufaro Stadium—and he did it again, this time against Lloyd Mutasa’s high-flying MWOS.
Obriel Chirinda led the charge for Ngezi with a brilliant brace, while Ashwin Karengesha added a third goal in the second half to seal the victory.
Despite the setback, MWOS remain in the title conversation, sitting just one point behind new log leaders Simba Bhora, who edged Yadah 1-0 to move to 35 points.
Another team quietly making waves is TelOne, who now sit third with 28 points after consistently grinding out results.
Elsewhere, Triangle United delivered a commanding performance, hammering GreenFuel 5-1 in what was their biggest win of the season.
All five goals came in the first half from Thabani Kamusoko, Zeka, Munsaka, Chatuluka, and Mudzimu, putting the game well out of reach before the break.
However, drama unfolded at Mandava Stadium where the tie between FC Platinum and Dynamos was abandoned in the 75th minute.
The match was level at 1-1 when Dynamos refused to continue in protest over a penalty awarded to the home side.
The Premier Soccer League has confirmed the abandonment and said it is awaiting detailed reports from the match commissioner and both clubs before deciding on the way forward.
As the season reaches its halfway mark, the battle at the top is intensifying, with every match now carrying massive implications in the race for the title.
