Former Simba winger Mutale opens account, Chivaviro scores in Al Adalah draw

In his second match since arriving from Tanzanian giants Simba SC, diminutive and entertaining winger Mutale scored his first goal to level the match early in the second half. The Zambian was in the right place to finish into the roof of the net after getting on the end of a cross from Mohammed Al Marri.

The former Power Dynamos star arrived for his first spell outside Africa two weeks ago and has instantly been pushed into a starting role. He displayed some of his dribbling ability and continues to add an element of direct play to the club’s attack.

For former Marumo Gallants star Chivaviro, the veteran forward is in the midst of a rich vein of form. The South African provided the second goal for his club less than ten minutes after Mutale’s goal to make it eight goals in his last nine matches.

It took time for the striker to adjust to the new environment of Saudi football but it is clear that Chivaviro is beginning to thrive. After only managing an assist in his first seven matches, he continues to move up the scoring charts since joining from Kaizer Chiefs with 8 goals in 17 matches.

Unfortunately, the league’s worst defense could not hold on, conceding a goal in the final seconds of stoppage time to settle for a point. Ironically, it was another former Kaizer Chiefs player who leveled late on when Caleb Bonfils-Bimenyimana finished following a corner kick.

Next up is a test on the road at midtable side Al Zulfi. Adalah are only one point away from the relegation zone with Thursday’s important victory.
