Peter Ndlovu registered his first victory as Scottland FC interim head coach on Thursday afternoon, guiding the defending champions to a high-stakes 1-0 victory over CAPS United at Rufaro Stadium.
The result cuts Hardrock FC’s lead at the summit from eight points to five, with two matches left for Hardrock in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season.
The fixture kicked off under an intense cloud of controversy following sensational match-fixing allegations made ahead of the match. Reports surfaced alleging an improper approach involving a leaked audio recording, leading Premier Soccer League (PSL) chairman Isaiah Mupfurutsa to encourage formal reports.
Scottland denied the claims. To guarantee impartiality during the highly charged encounter, neutral Kenyan referees were appointed to take charge of the match.
Emmanuel Jalai struck the all-important goal after just 6 minutes.
