CAPS United midfielders Joel Ngodzo and Kudzai Nyamupfukudza’s dreams to participate in the CAF champions league were shattered on Saturday when they were disqualified for wrong documents.

This publication is are reliably informed that the duo’s dates of birth on their passports could not tally with the licenses released by CAF. It was for that reason match commissioner Somnath Ballgobin from Mauritius could not allow the two to participate in Saturday’s match against Lioli FC at Setsoto Stadium in Maseru.

The match ended in a goalless draw and the return leg will be played next weekend at the National Sports Stadium There was drama when Ballgobin swiftly pulled out Ngodzo and Nyamupfukudza out from their warm up session after finding out the mismatch on their documents.

“Here is our list to CAF and everything on Josta’s document is correct. We submitted the correct dates. But CAF made a mistake. He can’t play today but it’s something we will follow up and they will make corrections.”

On Nyamupfukudza’s case Chitima said,

“It was a wrong date from our office. We are to blame It was wrong from the onset. It is our fault on that one and it’s unfortunate.”

He added, “We will make a follow up on the licenses. We hope the issues will be addressed.”

Ngodzo was part of Lloyd Chitembwe’s starting lineup whilst Nyamupfukudza was on the bench.

The former Highlanders player was replaced by Cabby Kamhapa. Chitembwe couldn’t hide his disappointment.

“It’s one of those things. It happens. It’s very unfortunate when you have plans for someone and things turns out that way. It changed the whole situation. However, I am glad that his replacement didn’t disappoint. Cabby played according to instructions and we managed to achieve our goal,” Chitembwe said.
