The Sunshine Boys remain one of three teams in the Premiership yet to win a game.
ZPC striker Francisco Zekumbawira, formerly with Harare City, said the win had given them a chance in the title race.

“I think the race is still open because a lot of the teams are dropping points,” said Francisco.
On Harare City, he said: “I think they played well and they had more chances than us but they could not convert.
“I feel it is a different team. They are playing a much more passing game now but unfortunately they could not score.”
