How Mine 1-1 Highlanders
(How Mine 4-3 Highlanders after penalty shootouts)
HIGHLANDERS was bundled out of the lucrative Chibuku Super Cup a 4-3 on penalty shootouts by gold miners How Mine in a match that was typical of a derby at Barbourfields Stadium yesterday.
The two sides were deadlocked one apiece after regulation time, How Mine scoring through Heritein Masuku while Bosso equalised with a stunning Obidiah Tarumbwa 30-metre set-piece that the opponents coach, Luke Masomere said should not have stood.
The lottery saw How Mine's Devon Chafa, Timothy Sithole, Heritein and veteran Mernard Mupera converting their kicks while Wonder Sithole's effort hit against the woodwork.
Amahlolanyama scored through an on-fire stand-in skipper Tarumbwa, Nqobizitha Masuku and dribbling menace King Nadolo with veteran Tendai Ngulube and new boy Thembinkosi Simango failing to score.
Ngulube crashed his effort against the bar while Simango, who many felt was given too much responsibility on his Highlanders debut, saw his effort saved by How Mine goalie Donovan Bernard.
Highlanders, however could have avoided the agony of a penalty shootout had they buried the numerous scoring chances they created especially in the first half.
Mafu's boys literally toyed around their opponents, tearing them from the right where Kutsanzira operated, bullying them from the centre where Tarumbwa and Nadolo patented the space as well as the left flank where there was Valentine Ndaba complemented by the energetic Bruce Kangwa.
Teams:
How Mine: D Bernard, T Kumbuyani, M Gutu, D Chafa, H Masuku, N Mukumbi, G Nguwodzawo (M Mupera 86th min), N Tachi, K Musharu, W Sithole, T Masuku (T January 28th min)
Highlanders: N Nyoni, W Chingodza, F Chindungwe, H Moyo, B Kangwa, S Munawa (N Masuku 79th min), K Nadolo, R Kutsanzira (G Makarutse 63rd min), V Ndaba (T Simango 42nd min), O Tarumbwa, T Ngulube
