Highlanders who had enjoyed an 18-game unbeaten run in the first half of the season have now suffered 2 consecutive defeats.
The supporters blamed poor match officiating for their dip in form and the match officials on Sunday made it worse.

Bosso fans then breached the fence and invaded the pitch in anger. The ZRP were overwhelmed and retreated in unceremonious fashion.
Riot police tried to calm the situation but the situation escalated and made it out of the stadium into the suburbs.

Even water canons failed to quell the anger as the Bulawayo residence refused to be dispersed, showing up each time the canon changed targets.
