Rumphi Police beat Corlaer College team from Nykerk in the Netherlands 3-2 in a nerve -wrecking friendly match played at Police Ground in Rumphi on Friday.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Malawi versus the Netherlands\u2019 match started on a balanced note with both sides fighting for an early goal.<\/p>\n
However, Netherlands\u2019 Stan Gulliker scored first through a free-kick in the 20th minute.<\/p>\n
Police equalised a few minutes later through Brave Gideon\u2019s volley. The first half ended 1-1.<\/p>\n
Some 10 minutes after resumption, Gullier robbed Police\u2019s Mike Njikho of the ball in the penalty box and netted the Netherlanders\u2019 second goal.<\/p>\n
The visitors looked exhausted in the dying minutes and the police officers capitalised on the fatigue to grab an equaliser before netting the ultimate winner through Njikho and Davie Mkandawire in the 50th and 60th minutes, respectively.<\/p>\n
In an interview, Teacher\/ coach of the visiting team, Jonathan Muddle, said they decided to play the game while on an expedition in the country as a way of socialising.<\/p>\n
After the game, the visitors presented 14 jerseys to the police officers.<\/p>\n
The college team\u2019s Project Leader, Yoop Van Delden, said the donation was in appreciation of the services which the police provides to the country.<\/p>\n
Rumphi Police Officer\u2013 In-Charge, Senior Assistant Commissioner, Denis Banda, thanked the college students for the donation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
