Terrence Dzvukamanja marked his arrival at Scottland FC in spectacular fashion, netting a brilliant brace to secure a 2-1 comeback victory over Highlanders FC on Sunday in a thrilling Premier Soccer League clash.
The former Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United striker, who joined Scottland this month, proved to be the game-changer as he scored his first goals for the club and handed Tonderai Ndiraya’s men a crucial three points in their title chase.
Highlanders drew first blood in the 17th minute through Reason Sibanda, but Dzvukamanja responded almost instantly with a powerful header just five minutes later, ensuring both teams went to the break level at 1-1.
The second half was evenly matched until Bosso suffered a major blow when captain Andrew Mbeba was forced off through injury in the 64th minute. Sensing vulnerability in the Highlanders’ backline, Dzvukamanja struck again in the 69th minute, completing his brace and turning the match in Scottland’s favour.
Highlanders had a chance to rescue a point when they were awarded a penalty 10 minutes from time, but Malvin Sibanda failed to convert, compounding Bosso’s woes.
Scottland’s victory lifts them to 37 points, just six behind log leaders Simba Bhora, while keeping them in third place. Highlanders, on the other hand, drop to eighth with 27 points, and have now only registered one win in their last five matches.
