Bosso beat Yadah
Highlanders . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1) 2 Yadah . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(1) 1 HIGHLANDERS midfielder Denzel Khumalo capped a fine performance with a gem of a match-winning goal, which deserved to be captured for the archives, as Bosso piled relegation worries on Yadah at Barbourfields yesterday. Khumalo, who is repaying coach Madinda Ndlovu’s faith in his abilities, having been given a chance to prove himself when Bosso lost 1-2 to Ngezi at the beginning of the month, is proving to be a find for the Bulawayo giants.
Yesterday Khumalo bossed the midfield in the absence of rested regular midfielders Brian Banda, Nigel Makumbe and Adrian Silla.
The classic left-foot half-volley on the turn by Khumalo, which left Highlanders’ fans in awe, was scored in the 67th minute about 20m from the goal.
