Extreme hold Masters in first pre-season friendly

Masters Football Club have begun their pre-season matches with a draw after being held to a 1–1 result by second-tier league side Extreme FC at Mchinji Community Ground on Sunday.

The newly built side found themselves trailing in the first half when Titho Soko opened the scoring in the 18th minute. However, after changes in the second half, Patrick Phiri levelled in the 72nd minute to settle the match in a draw.

Head coach Peter Mponda said the second-half changes improved the team’s performance after a poor display in the first half.

“Extreme were good in the first half, but in the second half we improved after making changes. It is a new team and we needed to see where we are now. I believe we will build a good team looking at the second-half performance,” said Mponda.

On his part, head coach Dan Zinkambani hailed his players for their impressive performance in the game.
