The conclusion of the season turned from bad to worse for Nyasa Big Bullets on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Last week, Bullets were humiliated by a 3-0 loss to Be Forward Wanderers. On Saturday, Bullets\u2019 slippery TNM Super League championship dream vanished.<\/p>\n
A 2-1 loss to Wanderers at Bingu National Stadium, Lilongwe yesterday just summed up it all in the red side of town.<\/p>\n
Losing to a rival is part of the game, but doing so twice inside seven days, scoring just once and letting in five goals is a defending and scoring disaster. Bullets are a big team.<\/p>\n
Bullets slip quietly into the off-season so traumatised after merely escorting their rivals to Lilogwe to claim the bus prize of the Luso TV Bus Ipite Bonanza. Wanderers won 5-1 on aggregate over two legs.<\/p>\n
Wanderers have finally found a way of beating Bullets, thanks to the People\u2019s Team\u2019s former attacker, Jafali Chande\u2019s brilliance.<\/p>\n
Chande scored twice yesterday to make it four goals over two legs, Collen Nkhulambe netted Bullets\u2019 consolation yesterday.<\/p>\n
Chande, who claimed a brace in the first leg at Kamuzu Stadium on December 26, became the first scorer at the new stadium in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
On a personal level, he got his revenge after Bullets had him arrested for committing the sin of switching allegiance from red to blue.<\/p>\n
For Bullets, it was a typical case of another loss, another embarrassment and another dream gone.<\/p>\n
Bullets\u2019 Assistant Coach Elia Kananji admitted that they were second best to Wanderers in the bonanza.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were disturbed by two quick goals. Our plan was to score two early goals but Wanderers had a similar plan, anyway we have to accept it,\u201d Kananji said in a post-match interview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
