HIGHLANDERS recorded their biggest win of the season at Barbourfields yesterday and dedicated their win to their late chief executive Sihlangu Dlodlo, who was laid to rest on Saturday.

Lynoth Chikuhwa scored a hat-trick, while Marvin Sibanda added the fourth goal, sealing a well-deserved victory for the hosts.

Highlanders even wasted numerous first-half chances.

They could have won the game by an even bigger scoreline.

Chikuhwa opened the scoring in the 10th minute, courtesy of Brighton Ncube’s assist.

The duo combined again for the second goal.

Marvin Sibanda headed home the third goal in the 83rd minute off a Marvelous Chigumira free-kick.

Chikuhwa completed his hat-trick in time added on, thanks to Ncube’s third assist.

Highlanders coach, Kelvin Kaindu, dedicated the win to Dlodlo.

“We wore black suits today in honour of our late CEO. This victory is for him. Scoring four goals is a plus, and Lynoth’s hat-trick enhances his Golden Boot chances,” said Kaindu.

GreenFuel assistant coach, Taurayi Mangwiro, lamented his team’s poor start.

“We struggled to create chances and the Highlanders’ second goal was decisive. We made tactical changes but they hit us again,” said Mangwiro.

Chikuhwa now leads the scorers’ chart with 15 goals.
