Pressure mounted for Yadah FC coach Jairos Tapera after the Prophet Walter Magaya owned team were held to a 2-2 draw by Hwange at the National Sports on Saturday.

Usually dependable goalkeeper Tafadzwa Dube had a nightmare in goals and could have seen red for deliberately handling outside the box in the second half.

A refereeing error by Ruzive Ruzive saw the keeper and his team escape unpunished.

Yadah FC went to the breather leading 1-0 courtesy of exciting winger Morris Musiyakuvi  but Hwange rallied back with two second half goals from 35-year-old Gilbert Zulu and another veteran Obert Moyo.

Hwange’s second was a gift from Dube as the goalkeeper was beaten on the near post by Moyo’s free kick in the 79th minute.

Veteran striker Zulu had leveled for Chipangano in the 70th minute when he shrugged off a challenge from two Yadah FC defenders before firing home.

It looked all over for Yadah FC until Angolan winger Paul Borges took matters into his hands.

Borges equalized with a powerful grounder, in a crowded box, eight minutes after coming on for a rather subdued Leeroy Mavhunga.

Yadah have one win in eight games and pressure continues to mount for coach Jairos Tapera who was suspended recently for poor results.

Hwange finally found the back of the net after going for six matches firing blanks.

Before yesterday’s two goals, Chipangano had last scored on April 26 when they beat Bantu Rovers 3-2.

Nation Dube’s men are third from bottom with 10 points from 12 games.
