Dynamos coach Tonderai Ndiraya says his team is slowly picking up after beating Harare City 1-0 on Saturday.

The Glamour Boys who had a slow start to the season moved to fifth position on the log with 23 points.

Speaking after the victory, Ndiraya said: “I think we had become a laughing-stock, we had fallen far, far behind the top teams.

“We are a big team, of course in terms of stature, but obviously in terms of performance we have been way behind but I am slowly seeing that gap being closed.”

Midfielder Archford Gutu scored the only goal of the match with a well taken free-kick in the 34th minute.

The victory was Ndiraya’s fifth since taking over from Lloyd Chigowe in April.
