Try Ncube watched his team fall apart during his first match as Highlanders coach. MWOS FC beat the home side 1-0 at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday. The new coach saw the same old problems that have hurt his team all season. His players missed easy chances and made silly mistakes at the back. The defeat keeps Highlanders stuck in ninth place with just 23 points.

MWOS climbed to the top of the Premier Soccer League table after this victory. They have 37 points from 18 matches and look strong. Simba Bhora lost points the day before and dropped from first place. The visiting team stayed patient and waited for their chance to strike. Their disciplined approach paid off when they scored late.

The winning goal came during the 87th minute when Highlanders defenders made a costly error. MWOS players pounced on the mistake and grabbed all three points. Ncube felt his team deserved better from the match. His players worked hard and created several good scoring opportunities. The final pass and calm finishing let them down again.

Ncube believes his squad can turn things around quickly. He thinks the same players who scored freely earlier can find their touch again. The coach wants to work on finishing during training sessions. He says confidence drops when teams concede such late goals. His team must learn from this painful lesson and bounce back stronger.
