HARARE – Dynamos failed to take full advantage of league leaders Highlanders’ slip-up Saturday when the Harare giants played to a goalless draw with Simba Bhora in a Castle Lager Match Day 20 premiership clash at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday.
Ahead of the match, Dembare trailed Highlanders by nine points and knew that a win could see them clip the rivals’ point advantage to a more decent six.

Yadah were 2-0 victors over Sheasham at Baobab.
