A former Kaizer Chiefs star stole the show during Zimbabwe’s Castle Challenge Cup match on Sunday, sprinting onto the pitch to embrace Khama Billiat, only to be swiftly escorted off by marshals.
While fans were left stunned by the pitch invasion, the invader was later identified as Kelvin Mushangazhike, a former striker who made a name for himself during the early 2000s at Amakhosi. Billiat was introduced on the hour mark and scored the fifth goal as Scottland FC beat Dynamos 5-0 at Rufaro Stadium in Harare.
KELVIN MUSHANGAZHIKE INVADES PITCH TO SHOW LOVE TO KHAMA BILLIAT
Appreciating the somewhat awkward gesture, the former Mamelodi Sundowns talisman posted on Facebook, showing love to Mushangazhike. He said: “I truly appreciate you, elder. Much Respect.”
Knowledge Musona, Walter Musona, Tymon Machope, and Emmanuel Ziocha scored the other four goals as Scottland FC demolished a hapless Dynamos outfit. Billiat has helped the team win the 2026 Castle Challenge Cup, which pits the PSL title winners and Chibuku Super Cup winners. The Castle Challenge Cup serves as the season curtain raiser.
Scotland FC, the 2025 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League winners, beat Dynamos FC, the 2025 Chibuku Super Cup winners, 5-0 to claim the cup title. This is Billiat’s second trophy since returning to Zimbabwe’s top-flight league.
Billiat was introduced in the 60th minute and added his name to the scoresheet in the 89th minute. Hopes are already high that the former Mamelodi Sundowns man will turn it on after scoring one goal in the 2025 season.
Scottland FC have set an early marker of their intentions as the 2026 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season officially kicks off on March 6. The team will be hoping to retain the league title, and will also be participating in the 2026/27 CAF Champions League.
