Motsepe Foundation Championship Round: Highbury 3-1 Cape Town City FC In a surprising result at the Highbury Stadium on the evening of March 13, 2026, the home side Highbury secured a commanding 3-1 victory over Cape Town City FC. The match, which saw Highbury dominate the second half, was a significant upset that could have major implications in the promotion race of South Africa’s second-tier league. The match began with Cape Town City FC looking the more composed side, and they took a deserved lead midway through the first half with a well-worked team goal. Highbury, however, showed resilience and managed to equalize just before the halftime whistle, capitalizing on a defensive error to head into the break level. The second half belonged entirely to the hosts. Highbury came out with renewed energy, taking the lead with a powerful strike from the edge of the box within ten minutes of the restart. They sealed the victory with a third goal in the 75th minute, a clinical counter-attack finished with a low drive across the goalkeeper. The key focus point was Highbury’s tactical shift in the second half, which completely nullified Cape Town City’s attacking threat. The home team’s midfield pressed aggressively, winning the ball high up the pitch and creating numerous chances. The standout performance came from Highbury’s central striker, who was involved in all three goals, scoring one and assisting the other two. This result provides Highbury with three crucial points as they look to climb the Motsepe Foundation Championship table, while it serves as a setback for Cape Town City FC’s ambitions. The win moves Highbury away from the relegation zone and injects confidence into their campaign. Post-match, the Highbury manager praised his team’s character: "We showed great belief after going a goal down. The response in the second half was exactly what we asked for." The Cape Town City FC coach was critical of his side's second-half performance: "We stopped playing our football. We were naive and paid the price." The starting lineups featured Highbury in their traditional colors, with their captain marshaling the defense, while Cape Town City FC fielded a strong attacking lineup that ultimately failed to fire.
