Dynamos Twice Come From Behind To Share Spoils With Highlanders

The first edition of the 2026 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL) “Battle of Zimbabwe” between Dynamos and Highlanders ended in a 2-2 draw at Rufaro Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Dynamos twice came from behind thanks to second-half strikes from Tellmore Pio and Collin Mujuru to claim a share of the spoils after Bosso had looked set to take all three points.

The Bulawayo side had taken the lead through excellent finishes from Never Rauzhi and Mongameli Tshuma.

Rauzhi put Bosso ahead in the 38th minute, but DeMbare hit back shortly after the restart with a long-range strike from Pio.

Tshuma restored Bosso’s lead in the 77th minute following another defensive lapse, only for Dynamos to level again five minutes later when Mujuru raced into space and slotted a low volley in a crowded area.

Dynamos coach Genesis Mangombe was pleased with the point, happy to see his team twice come from behind. He said:

“I think it was a game of maybe two halves, but you see, coming from behind, it means the boys have got the character.

“It wasn’t an easy game altogether; it was a very difficult one, but we managed to come back and equalise and get a second goal again.

“I was not happy with the way we were conceding, maybe our last line of defence, we need to improve on that.

“But our first half as well, we were also second on the ball. We lost the midfield battle, then we adjusted in the second half.

“We started playing and dominating the game in the second half, then we created several chances.”

Highlanders coach Benjani Mwaruwari said he felt the 2-2 draw against Dynamos was a fair result. He said:

“Unlike the game we played in the charity, this was completely different. They were aggressive, and they were quick in their breaks. We did exactly that, but there are some key areas we need to work on.

“I’m glad that my boys fought all the way. We had more positives than some negatives. But I believe it was a very good game.”

In Sunday’s other game, PSL debutants Agama went down 1-0 at home to Bulawayo Chiefs at Wadzanayi Stadium.
