THE Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL) Week Two fixtures produced a total of 15 goals to take the season’s tally to 25.
The season’s opening weekend saw 10 goals being scored.
The Week Two local football menu saw Highlanders striker Brighton “MaNinja” Ncube, scoring the first hattrick of the season.
In the past campaign, two hattricks, 20 braces and 10 own goals were scored all year.
Two of Ncube’s goals came from the penalty spot in a season that has seen a red card being shown to Kwekwe United goalkeeper Elton Nechirwe and another one being shown to Anotidaishe Gwatidzo of Yadah.
Nechirwe was sent off for handling the ball outside the penalty area to deny Highlanders’ Reason Sibanda a clear goal-scoring opportunity.
Gwatidzo, was sent for an early shower last weekend when Yadah played against Chicken Inn at the Heart Stadium.
In Week Two action, three of the 15 goals came from the spot with Bosso’s Ncube netting two and one from Billy Veremu’s when he equalised for MWOS when they drew one all with Bikita Minerals.
While Highlanders and TelOne were the biggest scorers of the weekend, moneybags Scottland FC are the only team that is yet to drop points.
They have a 100 percent record that has seen them account for Triangle United (1-0) and CAPS United (2-0).
Home wins were posted by Highlanders, TelOne, FC Platinum and Ngezi Platinum Stars when they beat Kwekwe United, Triangle, Manica Diamonds and Greenfuel respectively.

Ten teams, Kwekwe United, Makepekepe, Yadah, Chicken Inn, Herentals, Dynamos, Manica Diamonds, Greenfuel, ZPC Kariba and Simba Bhora failed to find the back of the net.

One match (Bikita Minerals 1 MWOS 1) was a goal scoring stalemate.
