Champion of Champions

Result: Bidvest Wits 3-1 Highlands Park 

Date: 13 November 2016

Venue: Tsakane Stadium

Bidvest Wits bounced back from their opening game loss to secure a 3-1 win over Highlands Park in the Gauteng Champion of Champions.

Highlands broke the deadlock after eight minutes as Jose Garcia got ahead of Bongani Khumalo to beat Moeneeb Josephs at his near post.

Wits leveled matters in the 13th minute when Jabulani Shongwe showed great composure to lose marker, before firing into the bottom corner.

The Clever Boys then went ahead four minutes later, as Shongwe turned provider to pick out  VincentPule, who lobbed the ball over Marlon Heugh.

Wits were awarded a penalty in the 24th minute when Mogakolodi Ngele was brought down in the box. Dillon Sheppard stepped up and made no mistake from the 12-yards out, 3-1.

Gordon Igesund's charges did improve as the encounter went on, but they were unable to find a way back into the clash, as Wits held on for the win.

Highlands will now face SuperSport United in the final game of the day and victory will hand Stuart Baxter's charges the title.
