Blantyre, December 5, Mana: TNM Super League defending Champions FCB Nyasa Big Bullets on Wednesday defeated Karonga United with a 3-1 win at Kamuzu Stadium in the second round of TNM Super League.
In a post-match interview, Bullets Head coach, Kalisto Pasuwa said they did not start the game with higher intensity because the boys think that the league was over thereby conceding an early goal.
He said the team therefore needed to sit down with the players in order to address the issue of complacent.
"The boys approached the game as if the league is over and this was a bad decision. The boys pulled themselves together to take up an initiative that brought good results,” added Pasuwa.
He said winning the remaining games will motivate the team in the season ahead, adding that this, therefore, calls for positivity in approaching other games.
Pasuwa encouraged his players to avoid complacence in the field of play to ensure positive results that should see the team always winning.
Gomezgani Chirwa scored the opening goal in 45+1 minutes after Nickson Nyasulu’s own goal in early 12 minutes of the game as later in 53rd minutes Ephraim Kondowe scored for Nyasa FCB while Stanley Billiat closed the chapter in the 60th minutes.
Team Manager for Karonga United, Ben Mwahimba expressed concern on midfielder attacker, Ellie Kayombo’s injury saying the team failed to attack because of the situation.
He, however, believed the team will end in top 5 of TNM Super League log table saying; “We have not lost hope in today's results as we have a lot of chances in other games.
“The games ahead of us will fulfill our target of ending in top 5. We will fight with energy in order to finish the league on good note."
In other TNM Super League matches, in Week 29 played on Wednesday, Creck Sporting against Mighty Mukuru Wanderers ended 1-1, Chitipa United defeated Moyale 2-0 as FOMO FC won over Silver Strikers 1-0.
