FC Platinum fight back to storm into Caf Champions League group stage

Braces by Never Tigere and Perfect Chikwende helped FC Platinum come from behind to beat UD Songo 4-2 and book a spot in the Caf Champions League group stage at Estádio do Ferroviário on Saturday.

After ensuring the Platinum Miners’ first-leg victory with a goal, Tigere was the hero again with a double in Beira to fire the Zimbabwean champions into the group stages on a 5-2 aggregate victory.

Songo appeared on course to sail through with first-half goals from Malawian forward Frank Banda and Miquuissone but the Zimbabwean visitors fought back with four second-half goals to win the tie.
