Mighty Wanderers and FCB Nyasa Big Bullets registered their fourth and fifth victory in the TNM Super League, beating Creck Sporting and Chitipa United respectively as Premier Bet Dedza Dynamos suffered a second successive defeat at home, beaten 4-nil by Karonga United at Dedza Stadium.
Fransisco Madinga scored the only goal of the match as Mighty Wanderers beat Creck Sporting 1-0 at Champion Stadium in Dowa on Sunday afternoon.
Madinga scored with a beautiful strike in the 57th minute after receiving an assist from Promise Kamwendo.
The home side started the game very well and they got their first chance 9 minutes from kick-off through Babangida Ishaya but his shot was saved by Mighty Wanderers goalkeeper Chancy Mtete.
Five minutes later Ishaya had another chance to open the scoring but his shot went wide for a goal kick to the visitors.
The visitors got their first chance in the 21st minute through Clement Nyondo whose shot was saved for a corner-kick by Emmance Nyirenda in goals for Creck Sporting.
Promise Kamwendo missed a clearcut chance in the 25th minute when he received a pass from Wisdom Mpinganjira but the former Dedza Dynamos player lacked composure to tap the ball into the net.
Creck Sporting coach Joseph Kamwendo made his first substitution in the 35th minute when he replaced Fatayo Bayo with Frank Phiri inorder to strengthen the midfield.
However, it was the visitors who enjoyed possession in the last 15 minutes of the first half, creating a number of scoring opportunities but Creck proved to be too strong at the back.
In the second half, both sides managed to create a number of chances but but still failed to find the back of the net as the Nomads held on to the slender until the final whistle.
