Terrence Mawawa| Highlanders FC coach Madinda Ndovu has conceded that his team lost to a better side.

His side lost 2-0 to ZPC Kariba on Saturday.

Tawanda Nyamandwe and substitute Borniface Zuberi scored in either half as Kauya Katuruturu completed a double over their southern rivals. The defeat was Bosso’s second in a row after they lost to Mutare City Rovers in the previous round.

“ZPC Kariba were the better team, and they deserved to win,” Ndlovu said.

“We have lost six points in a row now, and it’s not good. Both sides were involved in midweek fixtures and we played under the same conditions, so there are no excuses. We have to regroup.”

Highlanders remain in sixth position on the table with 39 points. They face Yadah at home in the next round.
