Bulawayo, Zimbabwe (News of The South) – A tatanic epic encounter is expected this afternoon at the Giant National Sports Stadium in Harare, Zimbabwe as the old foes, perennial rivals, Dynamos and Highlanders the biggest and oldest clubs respectively in the country clash in the 41st Independence Celebrations Cup finals.
It is likely to be a better year in terms of Sporting activity for the Zimbabweans soccer loving multitudes of fans to grace and welcome a full scale football return after over a year without competitive domestic football following the suspension of all sporting activities in March 2020 due to the Covid – 19 pandemic that has traumatized the whole World.
Although the match will be played under stringent conditions following Covid-19 protocols, the Zimbabweans people will be glued on their television sets and listening to their radio receivers as the match will be beamed live on Ztv as well as live commentary on different radio stations since only few dignitaries and officials will be only allowed into the stadium.
The two teams recruited quite a number of new players in to bolster their squads. Tonderai Ndiraya the Dynamos coach and his counter part Mandla Mpofu the Highlanders fc gaffer are expected to showcase their new Acquisitions in this game. Moreover this match will give them a face-lift to guage the strength, quality and endurance after a long lay off of players without active participation in competitive football.
Moreso the clubs had only a few days in preparation of this important Cup with Dynamos only playing a single competitive practice match against Cranborne bullets winning the match narrowly by a single goal (1-0) whereas their opponents did not play any competitive practice match, therefore Dynamos has got the advantage over Highlanders ahead of the game.
