1732: Pfumbidzai hits the upright but fails to get United's second goal. 

"After that burst of energy that resulted in in a goal and a missed penalty, CAPS United have slowed down thier game.  13 attempts at goal for the hosts with 4 on terget while Highlanders have 6 attempts at goal but with just 1 on terget," Steve Vickers.

1719: PENALTY Just a minute on CAPS United get a chance to double their lead as they are awarded a penalty but Devon Chafa with the honor, has his spot kick saves by Highlanders goalie Sibanda who read it well and dived the right directin. CAPS 1, HighlanderS 0.

In 2014 When CAPS United and Highlanders met, Highlander won the first leg 4-0 before CAPS United won the reverse fixture by the smae score-line. Could there be a similar situation this tme around, of course with lesser goals?

CAPS United are without midfielder Cabby Kamhapa who has joined long-term casualty Crispen Machisi on the side- lines. Veteran forward Leonard Tsipa will also miss the match after he was shown a red card in the first meeting following a rush of blood which saw him head-butt an opponent.

However, youthful midfielder Kudzai Nyamufukudza, who has been one of their best players, believes the Harare giants will get their revenge.

“I think we are prepared well for this game. We want to work even harder compared to last time. In fact, we are much geared up for the second round games because that’s when the title is won. So Highlanders should expect something different,” said Nyamupfukudza.

1600: KICK OFF Bosso kick off against hosts Caps United at the National Sports Stadium. 

Highlanders need maximum points to shore up their campaign in the championship race after falling two points behind leaders FC Platinum following a goalless draw against Triangle on Wednesday.

“Obviously, we expect a tough game, but we are prepared for it. We beat them recently and they would surely want to revenge for that loss. CAPS United are a very good team and they have been doing well in their games this season. They are playing at home this time, but we will do our best to get maximum points from that game. This time we will need to fight more for possession,” said Akbay.
