Yadah FC’s misery in the Castle Lager Premier League extended to yet another defeat in the absence of Khama Billiat as The Miracle Boys were beaten CAPS United by on Saturday, while their talisman serves suspension.
Yadah have now won just one of their last five league matches since the start of the season after dropping points against United in a tightly-contested encounter, where an injury-time goal by William Manondo turned out to be the decider.

Big-money signing Billiat was an obvious miss for the visitors who, despite creating several clear goal-scoring opportunities, lacked the cut-throat finishing that wins matches.
The former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns man was absent as he serves the first of his two-game suspension for violent conduct after reportedly slapping an opposition player during a highly tempestuous match against Herentals, as reported by The Zimbabwean.
"I cannot say much about Billiat's red card because I can't tell what really happened from where I was. It was a huge blow for us," Yadah coach Thomas Ruzive said, as quoted by Savanna News.
Prior to his red, Billiat had emerged as one of the deadliest weapons in the Yadah artillery, contributing three goals and assists in his last two matches – his highest goal contribution since the start of the season.
