Teen Tsamba Rescues Simba Bhora Against CAPS
Hope
Teenage forward Cole “Chocho” Tsamba was named LuckyBets Player of the Match after scoring a late equalizer to help Simba Bhora FC secure a 1-1 draw against CAPS United FC at Wadzanayi Stadium on Saturday.
The 17-year-old came off the bench to score in stoppage time, earning Simba Bhora a crucial point and maintaining the club’s position in fifth place on the league standings with 20 points.
Tsamba’s goal also marked his first in the Premier Soccer League since making his debut for Simba Bhora this season.
The youngster further added to his growing reputation by becoming one of the youngest goalscorers in Zimbabwe’s top-flight league.
CAPS United had taken the lead in the 35th minute through Lloyd Njaliwa after a competitive first half.
The match also featured a controversial moment when the referee initially awarded Simba Bhora a penalty following a challenge inside the box before overturning the decision after consulting with his assistant referee.
Simba Bhora increased the pressure in the second half in search of an equaliser, with Tsamba making an immediate impact after coming on.
His pace and direct attacking play troubled the CAPS United defence throughout the closing stages.
The breakthrough eventually came in the 92nd minute when Tsamba finished calmly at the near post following a strong run down the right flank.
The result saw CAPS United drop to second place on the table after missing an opportunity to secure maximum points away from home.
