RELEGATION threatened TelOne once again failed to make use of home advantage settling for a goalless draw with Hwange.
The WiFi boys, just as they have done all season were impotent in front of goals.
Substitute Fradreck Muza’s miss late in the match typified the Gweru side’s afternoon.
The striker sent wide Trust Nyabinde’s cutback from six yards out with the Hwange defence at sea.
Telone coach Hebert Maruwa cast a frustrated figure after the match and felt his players were guilty of indecision.
WHAT MARUWA SAID:
“We did everything, we tried all we could but the decision making from that boys was not right,” he said.
“Like there were times when we needed to pass or cross and vice versa and the boys got it wrong
“You see that time is ticking away we need to play a long ball but you find the players trying to pass.
But I am happy though that we are not conceding and hopefully we can build on that and start winning”
Worryingly for Telone, they failed to capitalize on other teams in the relegation battle dropping points.
Fellow newcomers, Chegutu Pirates lost 2-1 to Highlanders.
Arenel Movers played out a goalless draw against Bikita Minerals at Sakubva stadium in Mutare.
The WiFi boys remain in 15th position on the log standings with 21 points, three behind Bulawayo Chiefs.
Hwange coach, Rodwell Dhlakama was happy with the point his side picked away from home.
“It was a difficult game for us, we really wanted to get maximum points but credit to the boys, they managed to repel all the attacks and that point will go a long way,” Dhlakama said
The coal miners still anchor the log standings with 17 points, seven away from safety.
Elsewhere, title chasing FC Platinum lost 1-0 to Caps United at Rufaro stadium with William Manondo on target for Makepekepe.
