Power Dynamos produced a composed performance to secure a 2-0 win over Mutondo Stars at Arthur Davies Stadium and move up to second place on the league table. The visitors started on the front foot and could have taken an early lead, with Brian Masanyinga striking the outside of the post while Moses Shumah blazed over from a promising position. The deadlock was finally broken in the 32nd minute when Ayodeji Bamidele calmly converted from the penalty spot, giving Power Dynamos a deserved 1-0 advantage at the break. Power maintained their dominance after halftime and doubled their lead soon after the restart. Moses Shumah made amends for his earlier miss by unleashing a powerful effort inside the box that flew into the roof of the net. Although Power Dynamos continued to create several opportunities, they were unable to add to their tally. Head coach Oswald Mutapa rotated his squad in the second half, bringing on Linos Mwakaza Jr, Emmanuel Osoro, Kapembwa Musonda, Austin Muwowo and Daniel Adoko, as Ishmael Ankobo, Frederick Mulambia, Owen Tembo, Prince Mumba and Shumah were withdrawn. Speaking after the match, Mutapa praised the victory but called for greater control and sharper finishing. “We should show that we are champions and not allow our opponents to enjoy the game,” he said. The victory lifts Power Dynamos to second place on 29 points, two behind leaders Red Arrows. They will next face Green Eagles at home on Wednesday, 14 January 2026.
