Defending champions FC Platinum are through to the quarterfinals of the 2022 Chibuku Super Cup after beating Tenax 2-0.

The game went to half-time with no goals scored.

After a slow start to the second period, Juan Mutudza finally broke the deadlock off Gift Mbweti’s cross.

Panashe Mutimbanyoka sealed the victory with ten minutes to the clock to send FC Platinum to the quarterfinals.
