Striker Muhammad Sulumba missed two early opportunities, while Isaac Kaliati saw several of his set pieces and corners easily dealt with by the Songwe defense.

Despite their control of possession, Wanderers went into the break goalless, frustrated by the resilience of Songwe’s backline and the sharp reflexes of goalkeeper Bernard Mwangosi, who made several key saves to keep his side in the game.

In the second half, Wanderers coach Bob Mpinganjira made tactical substitutions, bringing in Clement Nyondo, Promise Kamwendo and Stanley Sanudi to inject fresh energy into the attack. The changes soon paid dividends.

After continuous pressure, the breakthrough came in the 86th minute when substitute Clement Nyondo capitalized on a brilliant assist from Masiye Manda to slot home the opener, sending the home fans into jubilation.

Songwe tried to respond in the closing stages, but their efforts were neutralized by a composed Wanderers defense led by man-of-the-match Dan Kudoto.

Deep into added time, Cameroonian forward Thierry Tanjong Sama sealed the victory with a well-taken goal, making it 2-0 and ensuring that the Blantyre giants claimed all three points.

Speaking after the match, Wanderers coach Bob Mpinganjira praised his players for their determination and fighting spirit.

“The boys gave their all today. It wasn’t an easy game but their discipline and commitment made the difference,” he said.

Songwe Border United interim coach Edwin Kaonga acknowledged the defeat, saying fatigue played a role in his team’s performance.

“We fought hard but towards the end, my players were tired, and Wanderers took advantage. We’re not out of the race yet we’ll keep pushing until the final day,” Kaonga said.

The result sees Mighty Wanderers sitting comfortably on top of the TNM Super League table with 51 points from 21 matches, remaining the only unbeaten team in the 2025 season.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Thom Mpinganjira, President of Mighty Wanderers, has expressed dissatisfaction over the revenue generated from the recent encounter between FCB Nyasa Big Bullets and Mighty Wanderers at Kamuzu Stadium over the weekend.

The match reportedly brought in MK138 million, a figure Mpinganjira believes falls short of expectations.

“When you consider the number of people who attended the stadium and the prices they paid for tickets, the revenue should reflect more than what was reported,” Mpinganjira said, emphasizing the need for a more equitable distribution of match-day earnings.

In contrast, Albert Chigoga, CEO of FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, said he is satisfied with the revenue, citing low attendance.

“The turnout was not as high as anticipated, especially when compared to the first round games. Given the number of fans who actually came, the revenue is acceptable,” Chigoga explained.

Charles “Grandmaster” Nyerenda, a sports analyst, added perspective, pointing out that ticket sales were limited due to pricing and accessibility issues.

“Many fans bought the cheaper tickets in advance, while fewer people purchased tickets on match day because of higher prices. This clearly impacted the total revenue,” Nyerenda noted.

On the pitch, Wanderers secured a comfortable victory, defeating Bullets 3-0. Adam Wallace and Blessings Singini added two goals to seal the win.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Mighty Tigers have taken a crucial step away from the relegation zone after edging Songwe Border United 1-0 in a tense TNM Super League clash played this afternoon at Mpira Stadium in Blantyre.

It was forward Wisdom Maulawo Jere who made the difference early in the game, scoring in the 11th minute after connecting beautifully with a pass from Samuel Kondanani.

The early goal lifted the spirits of the Kau Kau Boys, who showed strong defensive discipline for the remainder of the match.

Despite several promising opportunities to double their lead, the home side failed to convert their chances, while Songwe Border United pressed hard in search of an equalizer but lacked the cutting edge in front of goal.

The second half saw multiple substitutions from both sides, as Coach Trevor Kajawa of Tigers sought to maintain control of the game.

His tactical changes, including the introduction of Masambiro Kalua and Precious Kwalenga, helped stabilize the team’s shape in midfield.

Songwe Border United, under Coach Edwin Kaonga, also made several attacking changes, bringing in Richard Cheyo, Festus Chikwezgha and Bryson Kanambo to add firepower but they could not break down Tigers’ solid defense marshaled by Bakali Osman, who was later voted Man of the Match.

In his post match remarks, Kajawa praised his boys for showing fighting spirit and composure after taking an early lead.

“The boys did well today, especially after scoring early. We had several chances to kill off the game but the most important thing is that we got the three points. We are still confident of staying in the league,” said Kajawa.

On the other hand, Songwe Border coach Kaonga expressed disappointment with the officiating, claiming some crucial decisions went against his side.

“We played well but were let down by officiating. However, we will keep fighting because the battle for survival is not over,” Kaonga said.

The win sees Mighty Tigers move to 12th position with 21 points from 22 matches, while Songwe Border United remain at the bottom of the table with just 5 points from 21 games.
