Highlanders coach Kelvin Kaindu says it is crucial to keep a firm grip at the apex of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League in the remaining two matches of the season.
An injury time strike by Ozias Zibande saw Highlanders beat Triangle at Barbourfields on Wednesday to dislodge Close rivals and defending champions Dynamos from the top.
They have a narrow one point lead over Dynamos and third-placed Harare City.
“This is not the time to lose a point. Every point counts so it is important to tightly hold on at the top,” Kaindu said.
“We lost a lot of points earlier on in the season and that is coming back to haunt us. I think that gave us a strong lesson that we have to fight hard for maximum points.”
Making the league race more interesting is the fact that Highlanders face Harare City on Sunday in a match that will definitely have a huge bearing on the campaign.
“This is a very big match. We are playing a team that is also fighting for the championship. It feels like its a final of a Cup game,” the Zambian gaffer said.
Highlanders are bidding for a first league title since 2006 while City are in race for their first ever league title in only their second top-flight football season.
