Title-chasing Scottland returned to winning ways with a crucial 1-0 victory over Trojan Stars in a Northern Region Soccer League match played at The Heart Stadium today.

Denver Mukamba’s solitary first half strike was all the Genesis Mangombe-coached side needed to bounce back after dropping points against Ngezi U-19 at the Baobab last week.

The victory was crucial in terms of Scottland keeping up with the log leaders MWOS and second-placed Harare City.

MWOS thumped Karoi United 5-1 yesterday to maintain pole position while City edged Black Mambas 1-0.

Third-placed Black Rhinos dropped points again for the second week in succession, after they were held to a goalless draw by Shamva Mine.

Log leaders MWOS are two points clear at the summit of the table, with 54 points from 25 matches.
