Harare-based football club, Dynamos, edged out Orapa United of Botswana 1-0 in the first leg of their CAF Confederation Cup first-round encounter. The match was played at the Obedi Itani Chilume Stadium in Francistown, Botswana, on Sunday.

The Glamour Boys, as Dynamos are affectionately known, secured the vital away win courtesy of a late strike from Valentine Kadonzvo. The substitute player netted the winner in the 87th minute, sending the Dynamos bench into jubilation.

The victory gives Dynamos a significant advantage ahead of the second leg, scheduled to take place at the same venue next weekend. Due to the unavailability of approved stadiums in Zimbabwe, Dynamos will host Orapa United on neutral ground.

The win is a morale booster for the Zimbabwean side, who will look to build on this momentum in the second leg. With the away goal advantage, Dynamos will be confident of progressing to the next round of the competition.

The return leg promises to be an exciting encounter, with Orapa United seeking to overturn the deficit and Dynamos aiming to seal their place in the next round.
