Bosso form surprises Akbay

Highlanders’ title challenge came almost as an unexpected development for coach, Erol Akbay, who expected his team to finish number five or six during the early days of the 2016 edition of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League.

With three matches to go, Bosso are riding on a strong push, which has seen them pick up 21 points from their last seven matches, a run that has taken them to second position on the log table, behind Caps United, who enjoy a point’s advantage.

Akbay admitted that he didn’t think his side had the right quality to challenge for league honours, but improvements by individual players, particularly in the second half of the season, have aided the Bulawayo giants’ title charge.
