CAPS United lose to Scottland
The Green Machine put up a good fight but they were just short off the expectation when losing to Scottland at Rufaro on Thursday.

CAPS United left everything on the Rufaro turf.
Unfortunately they also left the points on that green turf.
In this rearranged league fixture, Makepekepe were looking to bag all the points and break into the top four.
Facing a team chasing to defend the championship it was always going to be exciting. Add the buildup drama in which Scottland stand accused of having allegedly attempted to bribe their way to victory and it’s electricity.
And electric it was. Tense was the other feeling.
But ultimately it was a thriller just that it lacked the goals to spice that up.
In the end, CAPS United lost 1-0 after conceding in the seventh minute.
Ishmael Wadi had a chance, Junior Bunjira fashioned one and even had a genuine penalty call ignored by Kenyan officials who emerged out of the blue for the game.
Late on Takunda Benhura came close, then Obriel Chirinda again.
All those attempts yielded nothing.
“I am happy with the overall performance of my boys,” coach Takesure Chiragwi said.
“It’s disappointing to lose a game in which we conceded through our own mistake.”
