NEW signing Washington Navaya gave Highlanders a perfect start in the Chibuku Super Cup when he scored his first goal in his Bosso colours on his official debut appearance to inspire them to a 1-0 triumph over Bulawayo Chiefs in a Chibuku Super Cup encounter played at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday.
Navaya, a striker who joined Highlanders from ZPC Munyati and was the last Bosso senior player to be signed early this month beat David Bizabani with a header in the 42nd minute after Divine Mhindirira had done all the work on the left.
Next up for Highlanders is a tricky clash with Chicken Inn who also started the Chibuku Super Cup first round on a winning note when they defeated Bulawayo City 2-0 at Barbourfields on Saturday.
In other Chibuku Super Cup matches that kicked off early on Sunday, Ngezi Platinum Stars thumped Triangle United 3-1 at Mandava Stadium while Harare City and ZPC Kariba drew 1-1.
Later on in the day, Cranborne Bullets defeated Manica Diamonds 1-0 at Sakubva Stadium while Dynamos and Herentals played out a goalless draw at the National Sports Stadium.
