The match had started at a slow pace and the major first half highlight came in the 39th minute when Highlanders' Louis Matawu dribbled past Gilbert Majoni, charged towards the box before letting a powerful volley which Nyoni punched into play.
Sikhumbuzo Banda reacted quickly to clear the ball for safety.
A minute later Simon Munawa's curler missed the target by inches but Nyoni willl argue that he had his goal covered.
After the breather both sides took their game a gear up and Vincent Nzombe was unlucky when a well placed Nyoni saved his shot in the 51st minute.
Two minutes later, Malandule awarded a Bosso a penalty and Ncube made no mistake.
He could have scored his second of the day in the 67th minute when he beat an offside trap but was closed in by Sikhumbuzo, forcing the Bosso forward to lose possession.
Nkomo also tried his luck from afar in the 70th minute but his effort was easily saved by Sibanda.
Chicken Inn's patience finally paid off in the 76th minute when Nkomo played a through ball to Chimenya who shrugged off the challenge from Highlanders' captain Gilbert Banda before unleashing a volley that was punched into play.
