DEPLETED MAFCO COMES BACK TO BEAT KB

Despite having just three players as substitutes, MAFCO FC came from behind to beat fellow soldiers Kamuzu Barracks 1-2 in a match played at the Nankhaka Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Peter Kasonga cancelled Olson Kanjira's first half strike from the spot on 54th minute before Bernard Chimaimba netting an 87th minute winner to stun the hosts and move up further on the log table.
