Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Highlanders coach Baltemar Brito has blamed his players for the 3-0 to Simba Bhora in a match played at Baobab Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Highlanders, who at one point had opened a 7-point lead at the top of the PSL table, now trail log leaders Ngezi Platinum Stars by 6 points.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media after the match, Brito blamed his players for a \u201cpoor attitude\u2019\u2019 saying they failed to follow his instructions. He said:<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s about the attitude of the players, and their mentality in the game.<\/p>\n

You tell them what to do and they don\u2019t do it and you end up losing.<\/p>\n

But we keep believing, Ngezi lost against FC Platinum and we also lost. It\u2019s a tough competition.<\/p>\n

Simba Bhora coach Tonderai Ndiraya, who has snatched four points from Highlanders during the current PSL 2023 season, said:<\/p>\n

I am very happy, and very excited after my boys put up one of their best performances of the season.<\/p>\n

Obviously, because we beat a big team, Highlanders are a team with a huge history, so getting one over them makes us very happy.<\/p>\n

We got four points from them this season and this is quite a remarkable achievement, especially in our quest to move away from the bottom.<\/p>\n

Simba Bhora are now five points clear of relegation with eight rounds of fixtures before the conclusion of the season.<\/p>\n
