By Paul Nyathi|Two school boy blunders by erratic Highlanders goalkeeper Arial Sibanda handed the impressive youthful Bulawayo side an undeserved loss to an unimpressive ZPC Kariba at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday.
Going into the break with a deserved one goal lead and pinning the power utility side from Kariba in their own half, Sibanda spilled a harmless looking ball into the path of a ZPC Kariba player who blasted the free gift home in the 58th minute.
Highlanders went on an intensive search for a winner in the closing stages of the match and Sibanda got carried away and joined into the attack leaving the goal posts unattended.
Very much against the run of play, a ZPC Kariba player spotted Sibanda off guard and lobbed the ball just after the centre line into an empty net with just a minute of play left to hand the high flying Bulawayo side their second defeat of the season.
The huge contingent of Highlanders fans immediately trickled out of the stadium in huge agony.
The Bosso fans only got a an undue rivalry consolation that bitter rivals Dynamos lost yet again, by the same scoreline, in Harare in the Capital City derby against Harare City.
