One of the well-invested clubs in the premier soccer league, Motor Action, has been threatened by relegation following weeks of unimpressive results.Lindile Dube took charge of the Bulls, in the first half of the premiership, but after incessant stalemates that dominated most of their results, he was replaced by former coach, Jostein Mathuthu.
Mathuthu was relieved of his duties, last month, having failed to bring change on the look of things. Last week, former Warriors assistant coach, Joey Antipas, came on board but his first match saw a 0-1 loss at the hands of a victory-thirsty Underhill.
Underhill has conquered the waters of relegation and swam through it almost every week of the top flight competition. But a goal from defender, Vimbai Madamombe, last week kept the Beitbridge sides hopes of fighting relegation alive.
In Hwange, the hosts collected all points after beating Kiglon 1-0 from a late goal by substitute, Gilbert Zulu.
Njube Sundowns saw a 1-all draw that saw them share a point apiece with army-side, Black Rhinos, at Bulawayos Hartsfield ground.
Highlanders who were under the guidance of their new Egyptian coach, Mohammed Fathy, ended a barren match that left their opponents, Lengthens trailing with eight points behind an inform Gunners.
