Dynamos coach Genesis Mangombe has suggested some of his players were affected by stage fright during their 2026 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League Matchday Two encounter against rivals Highlanders.
Mangombe brought in a couple of players who have never played in the Battle of Zimbabwe.
Speaking after the game, the Dembare gaffer said: “Dynamos and Highlanders are the two biggest clubs in the country and, with that huge crowd, it will never be easy if it’s your first game.
“As for those whom I introduced in the second half, I told them that the game is just like other games.”
He added: “We shouldn’t have conceded in the second half. That goal was avoidable and there was no communication whatsoever, and the goalkeeper was off his line.
“We will try and address those things in training.”
Highlanders broke the deadlock in the 39th minute after Never Rauzhi finished off a brilliant team move. The hosts equalised straight from the restart of the second half through Tellmore Pio.
Highlanders grabbed the lead again in the 78th minute when Mongameli Tshuma coolly slotted his effort home after beating three men along the way. However, Dynamos restored parity four minutes later through Collins Mujuru to make it 2-2.
