Relegation-haunted Shooting Stars eased their drop zone worries when they defeated Masvingo United in a Castle Lager premiership match at Rufaro yesterday.
Striker William Kupera (22nd minute), Elliot Matsika (70th minute) and Francis Kanda (75th minute) were on target for the Wild Boys in a poorly attended match that saw less that 100 fans attending.
Though the win saw Shooting Stars moving two places up the log to position 13 with 21 points, they are not yet safe as they are only a point ahead of Shabanie Mine who are sitting on position 14. Shabanie Mine play hosts to Monomotapa at Maglas today.
Masvingo United were by far the better team, especially in the second half, but they conceded two goals, which can be attributed to mistakes by young goalkeeper Talent Sande.
