HIGHLANDERS continued their fine form since the arrival of Dutch coach, Hendrik De Jongh with a 3-1 victory over Yadah FC on Thursday at Barbourfields Stadium.

Bosso dominated the match from the first minute and were rewarded with a dominant performance that saw them score three goals in the first half, with Mbongeni Ndlovu, Godfrey Makaruse and striker, Tinashe Makanda chipping in with a goal each.

The win saw them move four places up the ladder to sixth place and now sit on 39 points.

De Jongh was delighted with his side’s second consecutive three-goal haul inside a week

“I’m happy with the victory because this was a difficult game. We had good focus, good tactical discipline and a very good first-half where we scored three goals. Second half we changed, taking out Silla, who got a little stupid yellow card.

“Second-half we created lots of chances; we could have scored four or five goals. It would have been nicer if we scored five goals, but I’m happy. Second-half we also made lots of mistakes we have to correct. I think we’re in a good direction because what we want is a nice ranking (move up the table to a respectable position). Today we enjoy, tomorrow we do recovery and on Saturday we travel to play Dynamos,” said De Jongh.

In the other Castle Lager match played on Thursday Black Rhinos beat TelOne 2-1.
