MAFCO earns breathing space in survival battle after back-to-back wins

MAFCO FC have placed themselves on a better place for their survival in the TNM Super League after securing vital back-to-back wins thanks to a 2-0 win over relegated Songwe Border United at the Champions Stadium on Wednesday.

The Soldiers were coming from a 2-0 win over Civil Service United on Sunday and got two goals from Zikani Sichinga and China Chirwa in the second half to sit four points above safety in the League.

MAFCO head coach, Stereo Gondwe, described the win as vital in their chase for survival in the League.

''We are very happy with the win because we needed it most considering at how points are hard to find now and also where we are in the League,'' said Gondwe.

The victory took the team up to 11th in the League as they have 31 points from 8 wins, 7 draws and 13 defeats in the League, four points above the relegation zone.

"These results are pre-organised by referees" - Gondwe

MAFCO FC head coach, Stereo Gondwe, said his team lost against FCB Nyasa Big Bullets in the TNM Super League on Tuesday because the referee was making decisions that went against them in the game.

He said this after his team lost 3-0 to FCB Nyasa Big Bullets at the Kamuzu with two goals from Hassan Kajoke and the other by Babatunde Adepoju.

Gondwe blamed the referee saying his decisions favoured the hosts which helper them to win the game.

"Bullets against MAFCO is a big game and needs good referees not what we have seen today. He killed the confidence of the boys in the first half that's why we struggled to get ourselves back in the game and it's like the results are pre-made by the referee," said Gondwe.

The team sits on position 11 on table with 23 points from 6 wins, five draws and 10 defeats in the league, sitting just five points above the relegation zone.

Kabvina blessed MAFCO with K10 million

The owner of the Champions Stadium at Mponela in Dowa, Msayiwale Kabvina, has blessed MAFCO FC with K10 million to help the team in management of their works in the second round of the League.

Kabvina presented the cheque to the military side on Sunday when the team played against Mighty Wanderers at the Champions Stadium in their second round opener where they lost 1-0.

Speaking after presenting the cheque, Kabvina said he thought of assisting the team after they approached him and that military sides are those that struggle most in the League.

"These government teams face a lot of hiccups as we hear that they've gone so many games without receiving their allowances and many other things so I believe this little money will help to solve some problems which they face." Said Kabvina.

On his part, team manager for the team Lovemore Mitengo thanked Kabvina for the morale booster to the team and a huge motivation to their side.
