CAPS United two-goal hero Ishmael Wadi has revealed what coach Darlington Dodo told the players at half-time on Saturday.

The Green Machine were trailing 0-2 at the hands of Yadah in their opening Chibuku Super Cup match at the National Sports Stadium at the break.

“So everyone took the message back to the pitch and we duly fought back.”

He said Makepekepe have a chance to progress to the quarter-finals in a group which also has Dynamos, Herentals, ZPC Kariba and Harare City.
