Bosso blows chance

September Southern Region/ Supercharge Distributors player of the month, Evans Chikwaikwai, scored the brace that condemned Bosso to their first-ever defeat at the hands of their city neighbours, resulting in renewed calls for the axing of coach Mathembe Ndlovu.
Eric Mudzingwa headed in a face-saver for the disappointing Highlanders, who were last week held to a goal-less draw at the same venue by Masvingo United.
Dynamos, saved the blushes by a controversial penalty which saw them eventually earn a 2-2 draw away to Hwange at the Colliery last week, were this weekend held to a 0-0 draw by visiting Motor Action at Gwanzura, in another disappointing showing by David Mandigora’s men.
However, DeMare managed to extend their lead at the top of the log standings to four points, courtesy of second-placed Bosso’s third defeat at Barbourfields this season.
Only Caps FC (2-1 over Eastern Lions), and Lengthens (1-0 over Monomotapa) were the other winners in a weekend of draws.
