Dynamos 5-0 Railstars
NB: the Dynamos vs Railstars match was scheduled for Sep 24 but
postponed following legal action by Zimbabwe Saints, who
obtained a High Court injunction against the match being
played; Saints claimed they didn't walk off on Aug 11 but
the referee refused to restart the game after they had
finished protesting against Railstars' extra time goal,
which according to Saints was scored when they had only
six men on the pitch, the rest being injured, sent off,
or praying. Interestingly they only protested after
Railstars were drawn a lucrative home match against Dynamos
in the round of sixteen, and not before Railstars' first
round match away to Buffalo Hardware (a loss-making tie).
Eventually, Railstars were scheduled to play Dynamos away
and were notified of the fixture 2 days before the match.
