Newcomers MWOS started their Castle Lager Premiership journey with a dream victory. They defeated the Highlanders in their league opener, giving team boss Patrick Tamson everything he hoped for. Had this match happened at Ngoni stadium, the team's home ground still under construction, the atmosphere would have amazed everyone. Fans gathered at Baobab in Mhondoro-Ngezi and celebrated as they watched their club achieve greatness.
Mashonaland West Province watched their new club take its first successful steps. MWOS began the match strongly when Innocent Zambezi nearly scored, but his shot went over the bar at 11 minutes. Three minutes later, Tafadza George missed a header opportunity. Highlanders forward Brighton Ncube missed his chance at 20 minutes, taking extra time despite moving past goalkeeper Martin Mapisa. That moment created urgency for Bosso, who briefly controlled play.
The hosts quickly returned to form as forward Salif Cheya failed to score, with just the goalkeeper to beat at 30 minutes. Cheya later scored at 61 minutes, taking advantage when goalkeeper Rafael Pitisi made a terrible mistake trying to show off his skills. Prince Ndlovu made the Highlanders' first shot on target at 63 minutes, but Mapisa handled it easily. George almost found a second goal from distance, missing by inches five minutes later.
The crossbar stopped Malvin Mudzvuka's attempt at 79 minutes after a smooth play by the hosts. Bosso players showed little energy, disappointing their traveling fans with their lack of drive. MWOS player Nigel Matina thrilled the crowd with exciting dribbles throughout most of the game. Bosso coach Kelvin Kaindiu blamed poor pre-season preparations for their loss, saying they conceded an easy goal and would use early games to improve.
MWOS coach Lloyd Mutasa believed his team could have won by more goals. He praised his players for their strong effort, noting beating Highlanders never comes easily. He expressed gratitude for what they accomplished and saw it as something to build upon for future matches. The victory marked an impressive start for the new Premier League team, setting positive expectations for their season ahead.
