Silver Strikers kicked-off their TNM Super League second round campaign on a high after thrashing Max Bullets 4-0 at Silver Stadium in Lilongwe on Wednesday to worsen the rookies\u2019 woes in the league.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Be Forward Wanderers dropped points by drawing 1-1 with Red Lions in Zomba to take the ninth-placed Nomads\u2019 tally to 25 points from 16 games.<\/p>\n
In Lilongwe, the Bankers put their Carlsberg Cup disappointment behind and displayed a solid performance to move up to second position with 32 points, two points behind leaders, Blue Eagles, with a game in hand.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, the Bankers and Eagles face-off in what promises to be an exciting match on Saturday at Nankhaka Stadium.<\/p>\n
Two goals in each half were enough to ensure maximum points for the Bankers.<\/p>\n
Binwell Katinji grabbed a brace with the other goals from Lucky Malata and exciting winger, Duncan Nyoni.<\/p>\n
It was Katinji who grabbed the opener when he headed in a corner-kick from Timothy Chitedze midway through the first half.<\/p>\n
Two minutes later, Malata increased the scoreline with a glancing header from another corner-kick.<\/p>\n
The teams went for recess with Silver leading 2-0. In the second half, Silver continued from where they left and pressurised the rookies.<\/p>\n
Nyoni deflected cross went into the net after seven minutes into the second half before Katinji completed his brace 10 minutes later.<\/p>\n
The loss means that Max are still bottom with just seven points.<\/p>\n
Silver assistant coach, Lovemore Fazili, was delighted with the victory whereas Max coach, Aubrey Nankhuni, refused to speak to journalists.<\/p>\n
In Zomba, Jafali Chande put the newly-crowned Carlsberg Cup champions, Wanderers, ahead but the 13th placed Lions equalised through Innocent Bokosi\u2019s penalty awarded after a hand ball. The soldiers have 15 points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
