Sulumba scores as Wanderers reach FDH Quarters

Veterans forward Muhammad Sulumba scored his first goal of his third tenure at Mighty Wanderers as they beat Mzuzu City Hammers 1-2 to progress to the FDH Bank Cup quarter finals on Thursday at the Rumphi Stadium.

The Nomads opened the scores through Blessings Singini who stunned his former employers on 34th minute before Sulumba netting the second on 48th minute and a Jeremiah Kanyika's 70th minute goal could not stop the Nomads progressing.

Head coach Bob Mpinganjira thanked his boys for their hard work as they managed to fight for a win in a pitch they are not used to play on.

"We worked hard for the win, it was a tough match because we were playing in a different surface and at some point of time we had a challenge where the wind was blowing to our goal so I'm happy that the boys worked hard in order to win," said Mpinganjira.

The Nomads join Silver Strikers as the two teams to reach the last 8 as the Bankers beat FC Shire 4-1.

"We want to win FDH Bank Cup" - Mpinganjira

Mighty Wanderers head coach, Bob Mpinganjira, said that he has talked to his players the need to fight and win the FDH Bank Cup as they are yet to set their hands on it since it was first launched in Malawi.

He said this on Wednesday ahead of their match against Mzuzu City Hammers in Rumphi on Thursday in the round of 16 match at the Rumphi Stadium.

Mpinganjira is upbeat that the fifth edition of the cup might go their way.

"We have never won this cup. We want to win it this year. It's an issue we have been discussing with the players and everyone knows how important it is to bring this cup home," he said.

Wanderers surrender top spot just after two second round matches

Mighty Wanderers' unbeaten run can be described as useless now as it has failed to help them keep their top spot in the Super League after dropping two points to drop down to second in a goalless against Creck Sporting Club at the Balaka Stadium.

The Nomads went into the match leading by a point on top of the League but their slip has been capitalised by FCB Nyasa Big Bullets which had beaten Songwe Border United 1-3 in Karonga.

Bullets have three defeats and one draw but have secured 13 wins, two more than the Nomads to top the standings with 40 points while Nomads have 11 wins and 6 draws without a loss which adds up to 39 points.

Meanwhile, head coach Bob Mpinganjira downplayed remarks that the team is under pressure after losing the top spot.

"We are not under pressure as the League is still on, we just have to fix our problems and try to collect maximum points in the coming games." Said Mpinganjira.
