Mponda unsatisfied with Masters' play despite going top

Masters FC head coach Peter Mponda believes that the team has a huge gap to bridge before becoming a complete side, and that with their current performance, they cannot compete for the league championship.

He said this on Monday after his team secured a vital 2-0 win over LUANAR Mitundu at the Bingu National Stadium to go top of the league.

"We played at least better than our past two games, and we'll keep improving, but I can say we're at least at 30 percent and can't compete for the league title," Mponda said.

He added that their opponents were good in the game and deserved something from the match, but it was good that they stole maximum points.

Mponda also said that their win is not a motivation for the players ahead of facing Silver Strikers over the weekend, as they are different matches.

The rookies have leapfrogged FCB Nyasa Big Bullets to top the league with 9 points from three wins.

Extreme down Zitha in NDL opener

NBS Bank National Division League rookies, Extreme FC, got off to a flying start after beating Namitete Zitha 1-0 in a league opening match played at the Owen Malijani Stadium in Mchinji on Sunday.

The team's prolific forward, Beston Jimu, netted a sensational goal to secure a well deserved win for the newcomers who dominated the game in front of a packed stadium.

Head coach for the team, Dan Dzimkambani, hailed his players for their brilliant performance despite being a tough match.

"We want to be picking more points this season, we know we will be facing these kind of tough oppositions but we need to be strong enough in order to fight for a good position and even position one at the end of the season," he said.

On the other side, Namitete Zitha head coach Kenwood Nkhoma said his team lacked aggressiveness into the first half but the defeat have given them a room to note more mistake left to become a complete side.
