Extreme FC recorded their first victory in the TNM Super League after beating Mighty Mukuru Wanderers 1-0 at Bingu National Stadium (BNS) in Lilongwe on Saturday

The Nomads made several changes to the team that beat Karonga United last Saturday with Richard Chipuwa starting in goals for William Thole who has been their first choice goalkeeper this season.

Vitumbiko Kumwenda, Mathews Masamba and Emmanuel Nyirenda also started for the Nomads as the regulars Lawrence Chaziya, Wisdom Mpinganjira and Christopher Kumwembe were on the bench.

Gregory Mwase broke the deadlock in the 38th minutes when he headed home a well taken free kick by John Chalamanda to give the Elvis Kafoteka- coached side a deserving lead.

The Mchinji-based side continued to search for a second goal and looked more determined to secure maximum points on top of the Lali-Lubani boys.

Wanderers defender Miracle Gabeya was shown a straight red card in the 41st minute after a bad tackle on Justice Honde.

In the second half, Wanderers coach Mark Harrison made a number of changes bringing in the fresh legs of Kumwembe, Mpinganjira, Chaziya and Mphatso Kamanga, but Extreme FC led by Trevor Kalema in defence and Blessings Juma in goals, made sure that the Nomads leave the capital city empty handed.

This is the second defeat for the Nomads this season after loosing to Chitipa United at home a couple of weeks ago.

The win means that Extreme have now gone a point above Red Lions who are bottom on the log table after accumulating four points.

Red Lions however can return to 15th position if they win at home against the in form Chitipa United on Sunday.

Mighty Mukuru Wanderers remain third on the log table with 17 points, three points behind leaders FCB Nyasa Big Bullets.

In Blantyre, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets thumped Ekwendeni Hammers 4-1, in a match the Ndirande outfit scored five goals, four past their opponents’ goal and one into their own goal.

Hassan Kajoke drew first blood for the People’s team just three minutes from kick-off and Lanjesi Nkhoma scored Bullets’ second and his eighth goal this season, just eight minutes before half time.

The other goals for Bullets came from Patrick Mwaungulu and Anthony Mfune while Gomezgani Chirwa scored into his own goal to give the visitors a consolation.

In Karonga it ended 1-all between Karonga United and Mighty Tigers at Karonga Stadium.

The visitors were the first to score through Trouble Kajani in the 58th minute but the home side equalized from the penalty spot through Davie Tobias just three minutes before the end of the regulation time.
