Moses Chunga’s side dominated the first half with Dephistara dictating the proceedings. FC Platinum’s first real chance came in the 25th minute after Walter Musona failed to deliver on a face to face situation with Kafitira who safely collected the ball.
In the 70th min, Dephistara, who had a good game, toasted Quadr Amini on the right flank before sending a weak cross to substitute Sam Musimbo who headed wide.
Seven minutes later, Musimbo left his markers for dead but he again failed to beat FC Platinum goalkeeper Talbert Shumba.
