Highlanders FC 2-2 CAPS United
CAPS United won 5-3 on penalties
HIGHLANDERS forward Lynoth Chikuhwa missed the only spot kick as the Bulawayo football giants were dumped out of the Chibuku Super Cup via the penalty lottery at Barbourfileds Stadium on Sunday.
The teams had played to a two all draw in regulation time.
CAPS United started off the game on the front foot and got their two goals in the first half through Clive Rupiya who headed home a Rodwell Chinyengetere corner kick in the 35th minute. Joseph Tulani doubled the lead for Makepekepe with a header inside the box off a Erick Manokore free-kick.
Bosso got their act together in the second half and pulled one back through captain of the day Mbongeni Ndlovu.
Better known as Mbola, Ndlovu, who slotted home from close range following an Andrew Mbeba free-kick nine minutes after the break.
As if that was not enough, Mbeba would level matters through a well taken free-kick just outside the box in the 62nd minute.
In the penalty shootout CAPS United converted all their spot kicks through Devon Chafa, Erick Manokore, Ian Nyoni, Rodwell Chinyengetere and Hastings Chipusha. Andrew Mbeba, Melikhaya Ncube and Mason Mushore got their shots on target with Chikuhwa who took the second spotkick missing.
