Defending champions Simba Bhora climbed to the summit of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League with a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Herentals at Rufaro Stadium on Saturday.
A brace from the in-form Isakar Guribab and a composed finish by Never Tigere saw Joel Luphahla’s side recover from a goal down to claim all three points in a Matchday 20 encounter that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
The win lifted Simba Bhora level on 40 points with MWOS, but the champions now top the table courtesy of a superior goal difference.
Their position was helped by MWOS suffering only their second defeat of the season, falling 1-0 to Yadah at Heart Stadium.
The so-called “Miracle Boys” lived up to their name, with Josiah scoring directly from a corner in the 55th minute, a rare goal that stunned the visitors.
Despite the upset, Yadah remain deep in relegation danger, sitting 15th on the log with 20 points.
The result, however, offers a glimmer of hope as they battle to avoid the drop.
Meanwhile, at Bata Stadium, TelOne boosted their top four hopes with a 1-0 win over Dynamos.
Washington Navaya netted his 11th goal of the campaign to secure the win, pushing TelOne into third place with 33 points, just seven off the top.
For Dynamos, the loss deepens their crisis. The Harare giants on 17th, are staring down the barrel of relegation in what is fast becoming a nightmare season.
