Silver return top with Masters thrashing

Silver Strikers have returned to winning ways and are back on top of the FDH Premiership after hammering Masters FC 3-0 at the Silver Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Andrew Joseph and Festus Duwe grabbed their third and fourth goals of the season, respectively, in the first half before MacDonald Lameck's wonder-strike sealed the win in the second half.

Deputy coach for the team, Mapopa Msukwa, hailed the team for their brilliant performance in the game.

"It was a good game, a well-planned game and players played according to instructions we told them during training. We analysed Masters and we had a good plan for the game," he said.

The Bankers were coming from a 1-0 defeat to Blue Eagles last week and had to bounce back in style against Masters.

The win took them up to the top of the League with 9 points from three wins and one defeat in the League, level with Blue Eagles and Masters on second and third, respectively.

Lameck's penalty miss costs Silver in Eagles defeat

Macdonald Lameck missed a penalty before Blue Eagles netting a decisive match as Silver Strikers suffered their first defeat in the FDH Premiership with a 1-0 loss at the Civo Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Bankers had a chance to take a lead through a penalty but Lameck blasted it over the bar before Bennet Konyo connecting a long throw in to secure the win.

Head coach for the team, Peter Mgangira, accepted the defeat saying they missed a lot of chances that could have been converted into goals.

"This is what happens in football, if you miss a lot of chances you get punished but it is not a big concern as we just need to motivate the boys," said Mgangira.

The Bankers had a perfect start into the League after scoring 6 goals and conceding one in the opening two games.

They remain second on the table with 6 points from two wins and one defeat but could go down with two games left to complete the week 3.

Festus Duwe got his third goal of the season in the 65th minute before Chinsisi Maonga sealing the win with a stunner in the 74th minute.

Head coach for the team Peter Mgangira hailed his boys for a perfect performance into the game.

"I'm happy that we were able to create a lot of chances which helped us to get more goals so it is good to be winning games at this start so that we should gain momentum and confidence," he said.

The Bankers are the only side to win both matches this season as they also beat Kamuzu Barracks 2-0 in their opening match.
