Ex-DStv Prem star Musona continues with his renaissance in Zimā€™s PSL 

Former Sekhukune United and Polokwane City attacking midfielder Walter Musona continued with his impressive renaissance in Zimbabweā€™s Castle Lager Premier Soccer League after notching a brace in FC Platinumā€™s 3-2 win over Highlanders on Sunday.

Musona is thriving under Norman Mapeza following a rather below-par stint at Sekhukune United, where he was deemed excess baggage after seven months at the club.

However, he is having his best season as one of the clubā€™s key players as they charge towards the fourth league title on the bounce.

MUSONAā€™S WORDS

ā€œItā€™s all because of hard work and how the coach has allowed me to express myself on the pitch,ā€ Musona told FARPost.

ā€œIā€™m confident more can be achieved with this level of hard work and motivation from the coach [Norman Mapeza]. I give credit to the coach and my teammates.ā€

The 26-year-old, who is the brother to former Kaizer Chiefs Marksman Knowledge Musona, struck a brace to bring Highlandersā€™ sterling home record to a screaming halt.

The win stretched their unbeaten run to 16 games while maintaining their ten-point cushion ahead of their closest rivals, Chicken Inn.

Musona thrust the platinum miners ahead in the first half from a penalty before Panashe Mutimbanyoka doubled the scores moments after the half-time break.

Stanley Ngala and Washington Navaya scored to restore parity for Baltemar Britoā€™s men.

Unfortunately, their relief was short-lived as Musona grabbed a last-gasp goal for the defending champions from a free kick taken a few yards from the box. 

With nine goals to his name, the former Polokwane City player is a strong contender for a place among the seasonā€™s best 11.

Five games remain before the season ends, and FC Platinum aims to keep their unbeaten to set a new record.

They now shift focus to the Chibuku Super Cup semi-finals, where they face Harare-based club Herentals.
