Highlanders continued their dominant run in the league, mercilessly dismantling Chegutu Pirates 3-0 at Babourfields Stadium. The match served as a harsh reality check for the PSL debutants, nicknamed “Dzinza reZaire" (Sons of the River Zaire).

Brighton Ncube emerged as the hero for Highlanders, bagging a brace. Lynoth Chikuhwa added another goal to complete the rout. This emphatic victory further extends Highlanders’ lead at the top of the table, creating a significant gap between them and their competitors.

Manica Diamonds finally broke their winless streak, edging out Chicken Inn 1-0 thanks to a Michael Tapera strike. Hwange also suffered a setback, falling 1-0 to PSL returnees TelOne. Blessing Sibanda’s goal proved to be the match-winner for TelOne at the Colliery Stadium.

The Castle Lager Premier Soccer League continues to heat up, with Highlanders firmly in control at the top. However, the chasing pack is wide open, with several teams within striking distance.
