Chicken Inn 0-2 Scottland FC | Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League | 23 May 2026

Scottland FC delivered a dominant performance at a packed Barbourfields Stadium, sweeping aside Chicken Inn with a comfortable 2-0 victory in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League. The win reinforces Scottland’s push for a top-three finish, while Chicken Inn suffer a setback in their mid-table campaign.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Scottland FC pressed high and forced errors from the Chicken Inn defense. The first goal came after 14 minutes – a quick counterattack saw the ball played through the heart of the home backline, and the finish was clinical. Chicken Inn struggled to create clear openings in the first half, with their main threat coming from set pieces that were dealt with by the Scottland backline.

The second half followed a similar pattern. Scottland doubled their lead in the 63rd minute when a speculative long-range shot deflected past the stranded goalkeeper. Chicken Inn pushed forward in the final quarter but lacked precision in the final pass. The visitors managed the game maturely, closing down spaces and killing time as needed.

Key Moments

• 14' – Goal: Scottland’s winger cut inside from the right, exchanged a one-two, and slotted low into the far corner. 0-1.
• 63' – Goal: A tame shot from 25 yards took a huge deflection off a Chicken Inn defender, looping over the keeper. 0-2.
• 78' – Chicken Inn chance: A corner flicked on at the near post required a goal-line clearance from a Scottland defender.

Standout Players

• Scottland FC striker #9: Constant threat, one assist and a tireless work rate that pinned back the home defense.
• Chicken Inn goalkeeper: Despite conceding two, he made several reflex saves to keep the score respectable.

Season Impact

Scottland FC climb to fifth in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League table, now just three points off the second automatic CAF qualification spot. Chicken Inn drop to eighth, but remain safely above the relegation scrap. Scottland’s defense has now kept three clean sheets in their last five matches – a promising sign as they chase a top-two finish.

The next round sees Chicken Inn travel to FC Platinum, while Scottland host struggling Arema at home – a fixture they will be expected to win.
