Highlanders and CAPS United played a 1-1 draw in Sunday’s Castle Lager Premiership Matchday 30 encounter played at Barbourfields Stadium in Bulawayo.

The game had a pacey start, but it was Bosso who were dominant in possession in the opening minutes.

The Green Machine only started to come out of their shell towards to quarter hour mark and didn’t waste any more opportunities before opening the scoring.

Rodwell Chinyengetere broke the deadlock on minute 14 with a brilliant shot from outside the box.

CAPS continued to dominate the pace in the following moments, and were seemingly on course to get another goal.

However, Bosso slowly regrouped and started to retain some possession as the match headed for the break.
