Harare giants CAPS United ended what has been an eventful week for them with a goalless draw in a tightly contested league match against ZPC Kariba at Nyamhunga Stadium yesterday.
The point lifted Makepekepe from 16th to 15th on the log standings with eight points from 10 matches.
CAPS United were coming from a 2 - 1 defeat at home to FC Platinum in the mid-week game and are desperate to come out of the relegation Zoe amid reports that this could be under fire coach Lloyd Chitembwe's last game in charge.
Assistant coach, Tonderai Marume felt they missed some good chances in the game.
"We had some good moments in the first half, but we couldn't convert our chances into goals. We'll review the game and work on our finishing to make sure we capitalise on our opportunities in the next match," he said.
ZPC Kariba coach Newton Chitewe was pleased with the team's effort having traveled to Triangle during the mid week.
"We were pleased with the team's effort and determination, but unfortunately, we couldn't capitalise on our chances. Fatigue from our midweek match was a factor, but we'll regroup and prepare for the next game," he said.
The game was marked by a series of near-misses and tense moments, with both teams creating scoring opportunities but failing to capitalise.
