Baka City leapfrog over Bangwe  as Red Lions maintain lead

Baka City have this Saturday afternoon beaten Chilumba Barracks 1-0 at Chitipa Stadium to  take second place of the NBS Bank National Division League (NDL), displacing Mitundu Baptist, who are hosting resurrected Bangwe All Stars Sunday afternoon at Civo Stadium.

Meanwhile, leaders Red Lions poured more woes on rock bottom Jenda United beating them 3-0 at Balaka Stadium through a brace from Mphatso Magaleta (32′, 56′) and Brown Gondwe (73′) to amass 18 points.

Baka City earned 15 points after their triumph this afternoon — through a goal scored late in the game (87’) by Tambulani Mwale, scored with a beautiful header from a Lloyd Siyeni’s well-taken corner kick.

Another intriguing encounter today was battle of supremacy between two former Malawi internationals, Joseph Kamwendo and Jimmy Zakazaka — mentors for Mchinji Villa and FOMO FC respectively — won by Zakazaka’s charges by 3-1.

The hosts scored first through Juwao Davie in the 28th minute but the visitors — who are the recent past participant of the TNM Super League 2024 — were gifted an equaliser 10 minutes later through Mchinji Vila’s Chisomo Yakobe’s own goal in the 38th before Thomas Grey took the team into the lead 20 minutes after the break (65′) while  Rashid Chilomo sealed the win in the 76th.

Elsewhere at Mpira Stadium, Ndirande Stars’ Mayamiko Makato’s 18th minute goal was enough to earn them all three points after beating Ntaja United 1-0 but stay put on 9th place with 8 points.

Action for Sunday after also sees 6th-placed Namitete Zitha at home at Mchinji Ground hosting Chintheche United (5th), who share 11 points and separated by goal difference.
