FC PLATINUM lived up to their billing as favourites to win the season-opening Chibuku Super Cup after firing six goals past Premier Soccer League returnees Whawha in their opening Group 4 encounter.
Domestic football’s premier cup competition was played at Mandava Stadium in Zvishavane Saturday.
The Zvishavane-based side, who are the current PSL champions, underlined their intentions of winning the coveted cup competition this season with a flawless display which was headlined by a hat-trick from Rodwell Chinyengetere, a brace from Silas Songani, and a late goal scored by young forward Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya.
Songani broke the deadlock 19 minutes into the game from a free-kick, which was deflected by a Whawha player, Roy Useni before eluding goalkeeper Simon Nyama. Chinyengetere doubled the lead eight minutes later with a shot from another rebound.
