Tigers blow away two-goal lead to stagnate in relegation zone

Mighty Tigers failed to maintain their lead that could earn them a vital win in their battle for survival after squandering a 0-2 lead to suffer a 3-2 defeat against Chitipa United at the Chitipa Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

Super substitute Daniel Shadreck came off the bench to score a brace in the opening 11 minutes of the first half but Chitipa's substitutes Mally Kasongo (brace) and Zenda Manda scored for the hosts to seal a win.

Head coach for Tigers, Trevor Kajawa, described the result as a big set-back as a win could have been a good result for them.

''We scored in a good time but we conceded three goals in the same space that we scored so it is a bad result as we have given ourselves pressure,'' said Kajawa.

He however said they will try to do more in their remaining three matches as their chances for survival are still plenty.

The team has dropped to 15th with 26 points from 27 games, four points below safe

Kajawa starts Tigers work on Wednesday

Trevor Kajawa will start his rescue mission at Mighty Tigers on Wednesday following his return to the team after leaving third league tier side, Chilobwe United last week.

The team is yet to make an official statement on the appointment of the former Karonga United and Bangwe All Stars mentor but he has been leading trainings ahead of the team's match against Creck Sporting Club on Wednesday.

Kajawa was called back at the Kaukau Boys to replace Leo Mpulula who has been relocated to a scouting manager role at the team after undergoing a poor run of results for Tigers to settle in the relegation zone.

With four wins, five draws and 10 defeats this season, the Kaukau Boys found themselves placed 14th on the log table with 17 points, needing just three points to move out of the relegation zone.

The Kaukau Boys are remaining with 11 games this season which means they can grab 33 points which could lead them into safety once more in the League.
