Mpinganjira late penalty miss deny Dynamos victory

Chifuniro Mpinganjira scored two goals but failed to convert a late penalty that could have sealed a win for Premier Bet Dedza Dynamos as the team came from behind twice to cancel Kamuzu Barracks' lead in a 2-2 draw at the Champions Stadium.

Francis Mchema and Zeliati Nkhoma were on target for the hosts twice but both goals were cancelled out by Mpinganjira who failed to score from 12 yards with 10 minuted left on the clock for Dynamos.

However, after claiming four points in his first two games at Dedza, Alex Ngwira, described the game as very tough.

"It was a very tough match all together, we conceded silly goals in the first half however we equalised both of them and in the second half we at least improved but a draw is not bad." Said Ngwira.

The victory took Dynamos up to 9th in the table with 10 points from 8 games having won three, drawn one and lost four matches this season.

Lungu misses penalty on Ekhaya debut

Ekhaya FC new left back, Alick Lungu, missed a penalty kick that could have guided the rookies past Blue Eagles as the two teams played a goalless draw at the Nankhaka Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Lungu was granted his first start after signing for the Cowboys last week after leaving FCB Nyasa Big Bullets as a free agent and wanted to mark his dream debut with a goal but Joshua Waka denied him from the 12 yards in a game that Ekhaya dominated much.

Meanwhile, Ekhaya FC head coach, Enos Chatama said a point away from home is good for his team and that missing a penalty is part of a game.

" It affected us but not much because it happens in the game of football, or even in Europe prominent players like Messi and Ronaldo do miss penalties so it happens and we move forward." Said Chatama.

Ekhaya are third with 13 points from four wins, one draw and three defeats and are five points behind the Leader's FCB Nyasa Big Bullets.
