Knowledge Musona scored a late goal to secure Scottland FC's first Uhuru Cup title with a 1-0 win over Highlanders at Maphisa Stadium. The match, part of Zimbabwe’s 46th Independence celebrations, was shortened to 20 minutes per half due to heavy rains that waterlogged the pitch for the second consecutive year. Scottland coach Norman Mapeza emphasized the importance of the occasion, highlighting the opportunity for fans to see players like Musona and Kuda Mahachi. Highlanders coach Benjani Mwaruwari attributed the loss to a defensive error. This victory marks Scottland’s second trophy this season, following their Castle Challenge Cup win and last year's league title. Highlanders, still seeking their tenth Uhuru Cup, remain winless in seven league matches.
