Dynamos’ Chibuku Super Cup title defence remains alive after the Harare giants edged Simba Bhora 4-3 on penalties in Shamva on Saturday, booking their place in the quarter-finals.
It was a familiar route to progression for Dynamos, who also needed a shootout to overcome Yadah FC in the preliminary round earlier in the week.
This time, they played to a 1-1 draw in regulation before holding their nerve from the spot.
MWOS, Manica Diamonds and Bikita Minerals also secured their places in the last eight.
MWOS delivered one of the weekend’s standout performances, beating CAPS United 2-0 at Ngoni Stadium thanks to goals from Nigel Mutinha and Arthur Banda.
At Mandava Stadium, FC Platinum and Manica Diamonds played out a goalless 90 minutes, with Manica prevailing 5-3 in the ensuing penalty shootout.
The competition’s knockout format has already produced high drama, with three of the latest four fixtures decided by spot kicks — a trend that could continue as the quarter-finals take shape.
Full-time Results:
MWOS 2-0 CAPS United
Simba Bhora 1-1 Dynamos (3-4 on Penalties)
TelOne 1-1 Bikita Minerals (4-5 on Penalties)
