Bosso out of title chase

FC Platinum 3 – 0 Highlanders
THEY were in control, they had better ball possession, they had the numbers in terms of supporters but somehow Highlanders left Zvishavane with their tails in between their legs as FC Platinum truly trounced them with three out-of-the-ordinary goals.
Their third goal was a gem from their former player Charles Sibanda who hit a first time volley from outside the box to all but seal Amahlolanyama's fate.
"We just collapsed in the second half, our season is now over. No more talk about the league title now," said a clearly disappointed Highlanders coach Erol Akbay after the match.
FC Platinum survived in the first half before exploding in the second to destroy Highlanders at Mandava yesterday and keep alive their championship hopes. The home team's victory was spoiled by violence in the stands as some Bosso fans lost their cool and rained missiles, one of which hit FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza who needed treatment.
The home team's defender Kelvin Moyo's wife was also injured by the missiles. Gerald Takwara scored in the 50th minute, Walter Musona in the 71st minute and Charles Sibanda right at the end provided the goals on a day when the heavens also opened at Mandava.
FC Platinum: Petros Mhari, Kelvin Moyo, Elvis Moyo, Winston Mhango, Gerald Takwara, Walter Musona, Gift Bello, Rodwell Chinyengetere (Nqobizitha Masuku 89th min), Tarisai Rukanda (Charles Sibanda 31st min), Marshall Mudehwe, Ian Nekati,
Highlanders: Ariel Sibanda, Tendai Ngulube, Honest Moyo, Tendai Ndlovu (Brian Banda 76th min), Peter Muduhwa, Simon Munawa, Rahman Kutsanzira, Godfrey Makarutse, Ralph Matema (Allan Gahadzikwa 63rd min), Prince Dube.
