Simba Bhora coach Joel Luphahla says his side will now turn their attention to the CAF Champions League after bowing out of the Chibuku Super Cup.
Simba were eliminated from the competition after losing 5-3 on penalties to Dynamos in the first round.
The match had ended 1-1 in regulation time, with Simba conceding a late goal by Enasio Perrezo that forced the game into a penalty shootout. Boyd Mutukuri had opened the scoring in the first half for the Shamva-based side.
“We have lost in the Chibuku, we are out. We need to focus now. We have the Champions League and also the league. Our aim is to make sure we stay where we are. It’s not going to be easy, though, because other teams are pushing us,” said Luphahla.
Simba, who currently lead the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League, will begin their CAF Champions League campaign against Nsingizi Hotspurs from Eswatini in the first preliminary round.
The Shamva-based side will host Nsingizi between September 19 and 22, before travelling for the second leg the following week.
