Billiat bangs in first goal for new club

Former Kaizer Chiefs star Khama Billiat has now finally opened his account for his new club Yadah FC.

The 33-year-old returned to his homeland Zimbabwe in February after spending more than six months without a team following an acrimonious departure from Amakhosi.

Having been brought in as a blockbuster signing by the club, a lot of expectations were placed on the attacker to deliver the goods, but that did not happen instantly.

On Wednesday, Yadah took on Ngezi Platinum at the Baobab Stadium, and Billiat had arguably his best match for the side to date as he provided the assist for the first goal, which was scored by fellow new arrival and ex-DStv Premiership star Evans Rusike in the second minute of the match.

The home side equalised in the 10th minute and would eventually take the lead in the 32nd minute to head into half-time with the advantage. 

Yadah came out strong in the second half, however, with Billiat scoring his debut goal for the club in 64th minute to draw the scores level at 2-2. 

With no more goals forthcoming, the match ended in a stalemate, leaving Yadah still languishing third from bottom and in the relegation zone.
