Bosso’s loss to DeMbare, inflicted by Washington Pakamisa, came as a shocker for the Bulawayo giants, who entered the match with a clean 11 games unbeaten run. Their opponents had already lost four times, losing to even league returnees, Chapungu.
Bosso coach, Kevin Kaindu, said it was time to forget the loss, which meant the Glamour Boys have prevailed over the Bulawayo giants for eight years, and focus on the game ahead.
“The boys were obviously disappointed by the defeat away to Dynamos. Preparations had been done prior to the game to ensure that we broke the jinx that we have not beaten them for long, but that did not succeed,” said Kaindu.
“We now need to psych-up the boys and prepare them both mentally and physically for the coming matches, starting with the fixture against Black Rhinos. Hope is still there to win the championship because it’s still a long way to go. In any case, we are just still in the first half of the season,” he added.
Highlanders remain the highest scorers with 20 goals, while also conceding the least at eight.
