Moyale Barracks\u2019 hopes of winning the TNM Super League title continue fading as the soldiers lost at home 1-2 to their brothers in arms, Red Lions on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Two second half goals from man-of-the-match Innocent Bokosi, were enough to leave Moyale Barracks dejected in a thrilling match played before a fairly attended crowd at the Mzuzu stadium.<\/p>\n
The Kaning\u2019ina soldiers featuring McDonald Harawa, in goals, Andy Kamwera, Lovemore Mitengo, Suwedi Limbani, in defence, drew, first blood 35 minutes into the first half through Deus Nkutu.<\/p>\n
Nkutu, received a pass from Luka Muyaba then beat the Lions\u2019 defense marshaled by Mphatso Ngwira, Chikoti Chirwa and others to give the GoTv champions the lead.<\/p>\n
But Bokosi pulled one back in the 71st minute after he received a pass from Ndaona Limbani.<\/p>\n
Bokosi came into limelight again to claim the winner in the 87th minute when he dribbled past the Mzuzu soldiers\u2019 backline to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n
Moyale tried to cancel the lead but the Lions tightened their defence and it ended 2-1.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thank God that I have managed to grab two goals today taking my tally to seven,\u201d said Bokosi after receiving his man-of the-match accolade.<\/p>\n
The win for the Zomba soldiers was a sad development to Moyale, who two weeks ago, also dropped points after drawing 1-1 against Big Bullets.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goalkeeping was bad and this puts us on position 13 on the log table,\u201d complained Moyale coach Nicholas Mhango.<\/p>\n
Moyale have eight points on nine games played.<\/p>\n
The Lions\u2019 coach, Collins Nkuna, praised his boys. Lions now have 12 points from nine games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
