ZIFA Northern Region Division One log leaders Herentals coach Kumbirai Mutiwekuziva believes their 2-1 win away over Kariba Waves at Nyamhunga was a massive statement in their battle for the league championship.

Rightback Carlos Mavhurume was the hero as he scored in the 25th and 67th minutes to seal victory.

Herentals opened a 17-point lead after second-placed Golden Valley and Mufakose United match was abandoned.

Third-placed Mushowani Stars fell 0-1 at the hands of Shamva United in Madziva. Mutiwekuziva hailed his troops, saying they were moving in the right direction.

“It’s all about hard work and it’s paying off as everyone is focused and we hope to win our next fixtures,’’ he said.

“Winning away in Kariba is not always easy and I give credit to the boys who fought hard. The three points will take us a long way and at this point we are not looking much into how other teams are performing, but we are just targeting maximum (points),’’ said Mutiwekuziva.
