MatchDay 

Highlanders leftback turned playmaker, Bruce Kangwa turned on the heat against FC Platinum in a pre-season match played at Babourfields stadium today managing to score in the last 10 minutes for the Bulawayo giants for a one all result. 

Kangwa, playing in a new role behind strikers produced the sublime magic for a team which looked out of sorts against the CAF Confederations bound FC Platinum. 

The Norman Mapeza which will be away to Kenyan side Sofapaka next weekend went ahead in the early stages of the first half through Donald Ngoma after hard work from key player Thabani Kamusoko. He (Kamusoko) fizzled out in the second half giving Kangwa a chance to shine in the second pre-season match at eMagumeni. 

Bosso went to half time trailing by a goal after Kangwa failed to convert a 45 minutes through pass from Rahman Kutsanzira. 

Second half changes by an uninspiring Bongani Mafu did little to change the completion of the game, with the Soweto End's whistles demanding a better performance. 

Ozias Zibande's cracker on 65 minutes could only manage the cross bar with the FC Platinum goalie a beaten man.
Strike partner Simba Sithole, formerly of How Mine was absent from action up until his substitution in the late stages of the second half.

On 70 minutes Kangwa showed highlights of what to expect this season with a fantastic run from the centre circle, beating four FC Platinum players (Messi style) before failing to beat the advancing goal keeper. 

After 80 minutes he made amends after defenders failed to clear their lines, shooting at close range to save the face of struggling Mafu who is slowly getting under pressure from the Bosso faithfuls at Soweto.
