Zimbabwe soccer champions Dynamos FC lost to Cotonsport Garoua of Cameroon in a Caf Champions league semi-final first leg match at Rufaro Stadium on Sunday. The Cameroonian giants Cotonsport stole away a crucial lead to set up a potentially explosive second leg semi-final encounter in two weeks time.
The Cameroonian side stunned the Zimbabweans to take a comfortable victory ahead of the return leg to be played at the Stade Omnisport de Garoua in Cameroon.
Daouda Kamilou smashed a firm header past a stranded Dynamos goalkeeper Zondai Nyaungwa following some sloppy marking by the home side’s defence.
The defeat will now complicate Dynamos’ Champions League final dreams as Cotonsport showed enough character and some class about them.
The two sides will clash in the second leg in Cameroon in a fortnight and Dynamos will have to perform much better than they did yesterday.
Dynamos Team: Z. Nyaungwa; L. Mapuya; R. Mhlanga; B. Tuwaya; S. Mutenheri; T. Sweswe; C. Gomba; B. Marere (D. Maringwa 67th minute); P. Marufu (D. Shoko 82nd minute); M. Murape (L. Muhoni 80th minute).
Let’s DeMbare will show some character and overturn the 1-0 loss in the secong leg in Cameroon. They have beaten some of the best football teams in Africa in this years champions league.
