CAPS United coach Ian Bakala openly acknowledged his team’s relegation battle after suffering a 2-1 defeat to league leaders MWOS at Ngoni Stadium on Matchday 16 of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League.
The loss came courtesy of a powerful header from former CAPS United player Innocent Zambezi, who haunted his old club with the decisive goal.
Bakala did not shy away from the harsh reality facing his squad.
“Games like this are very difficult,” he admitted.
“They’re fighting at the top, while we are fighting relegation.”
Zambezi’s clinical finish extended MWOS’s unbeaten run while deepening CAPS United’s crisis.
MWOS are now two points at the top of the log on 34 points, ahead of second-place Simba.
The result leaves CAPS United (14) dangerously close to the drop zone, with their coach’s rare public concession about relegation fears signalling growing desperation.
