The bigger they come, the harder they fall.
This was the scenario during the game eight MTN Premier league matches following upsets for Mbabane Highlanders and Young Buffaloes.
The two giants were stunned by giant slayers Rangers and Ezulwini United during the last batch of the weekend fixtures played on Sunday.
Rangers had to wait until the 89th minute to stun Mbabane Highlanders through a Nduduzo Mvakali in a match played at Goshe Szokolay Memorial Stadium in Simunye.
This was a third win for the Shiselweni-based against crowd pullers following their previous wins over Mbabane Swallows and Manzini Wanderers.<\/p>\n

The result moved the Mthunzi Ginindza-led side to the third position 15 points in the log table after eight matches.
Ezulwini United were also the surprise package of the weekend after they stung the army side by a solitary goal netted by former Royal Leopards striker Senzelwe Dlamini at Nsukuwansuku Stadium.<\/p>\n
The victory took the gallant Musa Manyatsi charges to the third position with 15 points after eight matches.<\/p>\n
