BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Mighty Wanderers produced a dominant second-half performance to defeat Mighty Tigers 3–0 in a TNM Super League match played on Wednesday afternoon at Kamuzu Stadium, Blantyre.

Tigers, meanwhile, looked disjointed and repeatedly lost the ball under pressure, offering little threat going forward.

Wanderers created several promising chances in the first half but lacked precision in the final third. Clement Nyondo and Muhammad Sulumba were among the players who failed to capitalise on good build-up play, while the Nomads also wasted multiple corner kicks.

Tigers’ only notable moment came when Martin Nsewa delivered a dangerous cross that went untouched in the box. The first half ended goalless despite Wanderers’ clear superiority.

After the break, Tigers showed brief signs of improvement but Wanderers quickly regained control. The deadlock was broken in the 55 minute when Rajab Nyirenda floated a well-weighted ball into the box, which Sulumba headed home to make it 1–0.

The goal energised Wanderers, who began attacking with more purpose and intensity. Substitutes Blessings Mwalilino and Sama Tanjong added fresh momentum, putting Tigers under constant pressure.

In the 75th minute, Wanderers doubled their lead through Blessings Mwalilino, who finished off a brilliant team move with a well-timed header from a Blessings Singini cross.

Wanderers sealed the victory six minutes later. Adam Wallace weaved his way into the box before delivering a low cross that found Isaac Kaliati at the far post. The winger calmly slotted home to make it 3–0, capping an excellent personal performance that later earned him the Man of the Match award.

Speaking after the match, Mighty Wanderers coach Bob Mpinganjira praised his players for their impressive display but downplayed talk of the title race, saying there are still seven games to be played.

On his remarks Tigers coach Trevor Kajawa admitted defeat but commended his players’ effort, expressing hope that they will perform better in their remaining fixtures.

The result leaves Tigers in 13th position with 26 points from 26 matches, while Wanderers remain top of the table with 55 points from 23 games, strengthening their push for the league title.

The match, which lived up to its billing as a Blantyre derby, started with both teams showing intent and hunger for an early goal.

Bullets’ Chrispin Mapemba came close in the sixth minute but headed over the bar, while Wanderers’ Sama Thierry Tanjong saw his penalty appeals waved away midway through the first half.

Despite both sides creating several chances, the first half ended goalless with Wanderers goalkeeper Dalitso Khungwa and his Bullets counterpart Innocent Nyasulu keeping their teams in the game.

In the second half, Bullets made several changes, introducing Paul Master and Yamikani Mologeni, but they still struggled to break the resilient Wanderers defence marshalled by Timothy Silwimba and Stanley Sanudi.

The turning point came in the dying moments when substitute Kamwendo connected beautifully to Kaliati’s cross, slotting home the only goal of the match to send the Nomads into the final.

On his part, Wanderers coach Bob Mpinganjira was full of praise for his charges.

“The boys fought hard from start to finish. Bullets played well but our determination and discipline made the difference,” he said.

“We now shift our focus to the final against Silver Strikers. We’ll prepare thoroughly because Wanderers have never won this cup before,”Mpinganjira explained.

The victory sets up a mouthwatering FDH Bank Cup final between Mighty Wanderers and Silver Strikers, who defeated Civil Service United 1–0 in the first semifinal.

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.

Wanderers unhappy with revenue from Bullets clash

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

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.
