HARARE – In form Khama Billiat scored his ninth goal of the season when Yadah came from behind to beat 10-men Bulawayo Chiefs at the Heart Stadium on Sunday.
Chiefs took the lead in the 51st minute through new signing Reason Sibanda who arrived on a loan from Highlanders.

“…I think Khama Billiat can get to 20 goals (this season),” Ruzive added.
