SIMBA BHORA ruined Yadah's homecoming to the newly built Heart Stadium as the Tonderai Ndiraya-coached men moved second on the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League standings with a battling win yesterday.

Goals from Tymon Machope on 30 minutes, and Walter Musona on the 58th saw the Shamva-based side secure their second win on the bounce to move level on points with log leaders Highlanders who host Chegutu Pirates today.

Blessed Ndereki scored a screamer on 77th minute for Yadah, but the goal proved to be just a consolation as the Miracle Boys remain without a win in the first five matches.

Machope made a breakthrough when he was found by an exquisite over-the-defense pass to shrug his marker before beating George Munhupedzi.

Things got worse for the home side when superstar Billiat went off injured from an off the ball foul.

The hosts were further punished when Musona fired in at the near post just before the hour mark after exchanging passes with Machope.

Ndereki's belter from outside the box added some late drama and the hosts could have found an equaliser but Tanaka Chikumba's header was palmed away by goalkeeper Talbert Shumba who needed numerous attempts to get control of the ball as Ndiraya's men survived a nervy finish.
