FOMO MISSES RELEGATION ZONE EXIT

FOMO FC missed a chance to move out of the TNM Super League relegation zone after suffering a shock 2-1 defeat over already relegated Baka City at the Karonga Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

A win for the team could have leapfrogged Bangwe All Stars on the log table and got a lead on 14th minute when Hassan Hussein put them ahead but Baka City came with damage in the second half when Tambulani Mwale scored from the spot on 47th minute before Augustin Msowoya netting the winner three minutes later.

Team manager for the team, Harry Nyirenda, said it is a painful defeat but they will sort out their problems so that they should win against Chitipa United.

"We should thank the boys for playing very well despite losing you know we travelled yesterday and their bodies were tired and secondly, we missed chances hence we lost." Said Nyirenda.

The result means they still stay 14th on the table with 22 points from 25 games, two points behind Bangwe All Stars

RELEGATED BAKA STUN RELEGATION THREATENED FOMO

TNM Super League relegated side, Baka City, has secured their first win in the second round of the league as they came from behind to beat relegation threatened side, FOMO FC 2-1 at the Karonga Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

FOMO scored an opener through Hussein Hassan on 14th minute but Tambulani Mwale pulled level on 47th minute from the spot before Augustin Msowoya netting the winner three minutes later.

Team manager for the team, Davie Kayira, said his players were told to be more serious in the second half after a sloppy first half that's why they won the game.

"In the first half we did not play well and we told the boys to be serious at half time and in the second half we came strong and got those two goals in the game." Said Kayira.

The win is second for the team this season as they now have 11 points from 26 games and they are still anchoring the table.

"THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU UNDERRATE OPPONENTS" - MPONDA

Silver Strikers head coach, Peter Mponda has described their exit in the Castel Challenge Cup round of 32 stage as painful but it is as a result of underrating a team they were facing.

He said this after suffering a 3-4 defeat in post match penalties following a 2-2 draw in the 90 minutes and Mponda said his players failed to perform better as they usually do.

"It's a painful result yes and I'm not pleased with the performance and also the result, that what happens when you underrate your opponents, we are now out of the Castel Challenge Cup, we move on." Said Mponda.

He further said that he tried to rest some of his players because they are tired after playing last Saturday and have also a tough assignment on Saturday.

The Bankers were also knocked out of the FDH Bank Cup two months ago in a similar fashion when Blue Eagles stunned them in post match penalties.
