Blantyre, October 26, Mana: FCB Nyasa Big Bullets has refused to throw in three points to Mighty Mukuru Wanderers in the Blantyre derby played on Saturday at Kamuzu Stadium after a 2-1 goal show.

The People's team displays quality football in the first half as in 7th minutes Ronald Chitiyo scored and later Babatunde Adepoju made a simple taped in to extend the lead after Noma goalkeeper William Thole_failed to grip Wongani Lungu pass making the first half to end on a 2-0 note.

In 87 minutes Mighty Mukuru Wanderers reduced the deficit through Thierry Tanjong Sama but it was not enough to savage a point.

Bullets head coach, Kalisto Pasuwa said they have been dropping points in games that they were supposed to win but having derby on their side gave them full confidence saying if they continue like that, the team will claim championship of this season.

“This victory it's a big plus and perfect motivation on our side. The boys played a very good game, but again, 75, 80 minutes, like last time, we conceded unnecessary goal as such I have learnt that there is lack of leadership in the field of play whereby as a team will solve it,” said Pasuwa.

The defending TNM Super league champions have now accumulated 40 points with 14 clear goals as Mighty Mukuru Wanderers maintained second position with 44 points with 31 goals.

In 80 minutes, noise from the Bullets stands filled the whole stadium as their team enjoyed possession as in the middle of the game Noma’s captain Chaziya was sent off with a red card following some football uncalled for manners.

Head Coach Meke Mwase_expressed concern over the loss saying there is a lot of work to be done, saying the loss affected their league plans, but was hopeful for some good things as all is not yet over.

“We started well, in five minutes we lost control. This affected us a lot. This was the game that we planned with the boys that they should work very hard so that we should increase our chances of the championship," said Mwase.

In other TNM Super League match of Moyale FC against Mzuzu City Hammers ended nil-nil as Chitipa United with Premier Bet Dedza Dynamos ended 2-2.
