HARARE – Highlanders thrashed Chegutu Pirates 3-0 on Sunday to top the league table as they put out an early bid for the 2024 Zimbabwe premiership title.

Following Match Day 5 of the current football premiership race, Highlanders top the standings on 13 points.
They are followed by FC Platinum who have 10 points from four games played. The former champions’ Match Day 5 clash with Caps United was abandoned on Saturday due to fan mayhem.
