Ekhaya FC have moved to the third position on the TNM Super League log table following their 2-0 win over Karonga United at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre on Wednesday afternoon.
Chimwemwe Yasini and Clever Chikwata were on target for the Cowboys who were coming from a bad outing as they were beaten 1-0 by Kamuzu Barracks over the weekend.
Yasin beat Karonga goalkeeper McLean Mwale to put the host ahead just 7 minutes from kick-off after receiving a brilliant pass from Clever Chikwata.

Three minutes later, Stanley Billiat almost doubled the lead for Ekhaya after receiving a pass from James Lumbe but the effort was beautifully saved by Mwale.
Mwale came to the rescue again in the 17th minute, saving Stanley Billiat’s shot to deny the home side from extending the lead.
In the second half, Karonga looked a changed side and Nature Kaonga almost found the back of the net in the 54th minute when his shot missed the upright after Ekhaya goalkeeper Elias Missi went out of position.
Two minutes later Ekhaya had an opportunity to score as Lovemore Mbeta headed wide from close range after receiving a cross from Stanley Billiat.
Clever Chikwata who was also voted man of the match scored Ekhaya’s second goal in the added time after beating two defenders and the goalkeeper to ensure maximum points for the home side.
Ekhaya are now level on 12 points with second placed Mighty Wanderers but the Cowboys have played two more games than the Nomads.
Karonga are now fifth on the log table with 9 points from 5 games.
Elsewhere, the match between Creck Sporting and Kamuzu Barracks ended goalless at Aubrey Dimba Stadium in Mchinji.
Creck are now 14th on the log table with five points after playing five games and KB are fourth with 10 points from six games.
