A MAFIOUS Chihweta strike five minutes before the break put Highlanders in front in their Castle Lager Premier Soccer League encounter against GreenFuel at Barbourfields Stadium.
The skillful Bosso striker pounced on a rebound to strike the hosts into the lead at the break of what was a boring first stanza.
It was his second goal for the Bulawayo giants.
Besides the goal, the first 45 minutes were uneventful with the first real chance coming just before the half hour mark.
In the stands, there is a group of Highlanders fans protesting against the club’s leadership.
The fans claim they want a new executive and board. They are also calling for the appropriate use of clubs funds.
The first real chance and shot on target in the first half came in the 27th minute when Chihweta attempted a curler from the edge of the box which went straight into Ryners’ arms.
Moments later, Bosso got a freekick on the right flank. Mvelo Khoza sent a cross into the danger area but Ryners punched it away to safety.
In the 33rd minute, Reason Sibanda pounced on a defensive blunder from Emmanuel Chikwende inside the box but his shot was blocked by Garikai Dematsika for a corner kick which Bosso wasted.
Three minutes later, Luckmore Mutumbi sent in a brilliant cross into the box which Sibanda failed to connect with.
