CAPS United have dangled a US$1 000 bonus to their players to inspire the Green Machine to beat title favourites Simba Bhora at Wadzanai tomorrow.

Club president, Farai Jere, wants his players to give it their all and become the first team to beat Simba Bhora in their backyard this season.

“Yes, we are giving them that amount (US$1 000) for a win against Simba Bhora,” said Jere.

“It’s something we have been doing and this is how the wins have been coming.”

They are expected to give Simba Bhora yet another huge test of character after the miners lost their way against Herentals in their last match.

Simba Bhora will move a step closer to the crown if they manage to win.

That will give them a massive nine-point advantage over FC Platinum who will only play their own tie against Dynamos a day later.

Coach Lloyd Chitembwe said his boys were ready to down Simba Bhora.

“It looks to be a good match but first I would lie to congratulate coach Tonderai Ndiraya, because he has shown that he is a good coach.

“He has done well with Simba Bhora against all odds, not many people believed in him. Not many people believed in his qualities as a coach.

“He has gone on to do extremely very well with the team so, I think, he deserves the credit and I’m happy for him.

“But coming to the game on Saturday, I think it’s an equally important game for us as it is also important for them.

“It’s important for us because we lost the first game we played at Rufaro, obviously, after having dominated throughout the match,” said Chitembwe.

He added:

“We lost through a goal that I thought we could have avoided from a free-kick.

“So, we have a good reason to play that match and correct the wrongs of the past and we are looking forward to it with a lot of hope that we can go there and win.”
