Bosso beat Yadah

- Ricky Zililo in BULAWAYO

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.
