"ONE OF THEIR PLAYERS WERE OFFSIDE" - CHIRWA

Dedza Dynamos head coach, Gilbert Chirwa, says the referee could have denied the Ekwendeni Hammers' equaliser in their match as one of the players was offside.

Chirwa said this after the match which his team lost 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the regulation time and blamed the officiation for awarding the goal but says they will switch attention to their next game against FCB Nyasa Big Bullets.

"The game was good and we were leading 1+0 and Ekwendeni equalised through a free kick but I think one of their players was completely offside and the whole bench was surprised as to why they did not raise the flag otherwise penalties are unpredictable, they won." Said Chirwa.

Christopher Phiri netted an opener on 16th minute via a penalty but Chisomo Sambani's header on 65th minute forced the game into the penalty where Charles Chipala's miss gifted Hammers a win.

The team turns attention to the league where they will play FCB Nyasa Big
