The league debutants are now at the top of the log standings courtesy of a goal difference after Dynamos edged Highlanders 1-0 at Barbourfields yesterday.
ZPC Kariba coach Saul Chaminuka proved his tactical acumen as substitutes Philip Makanje and Norest Mukwezvaramba scored for his side while Pride Tarirenyika also scored for ZPC.
Shooting at the top of the log, ZPC Kariba are now a concern for Highlanders and Dynamos.
“We are just specialising our normal football. Nothing special can be said about us losing,” Shabanie Mine coach John Phiri said. “We played well especially in the first half but we lost the plot after the breather. There is still time to recover and we will do that.”
A drab first afternoon characterised the match with Artwell Nyamuwa closely missing target for ZPC Kariba.
