After a back-door return to the TNM Super League, Civil Sporting Club, formerly Civo United, is finding the going tough in the top-flight league having lost two consecutive games.<\/p>\n
Civil started the season with a 1-0 home loss to Mafco and suffered another defeat 2-1 at the hands of rookies, Masters Security FC, at Dedza Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Former South Africa\u2019s Platinum Stars and Bidvest Wits forward Robin Ngalande netted a brace to hand his former club the defeat. Innocent Tanganyika scored Civil\u2019s consolation goal.<\/p>\n
But Civil Head Coach, Franco Ndawa, is optimistic that his team would bounce back and avoid relegation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is just the start of the season but I hope we will soon get positive results,\u201d Ndawa said.<\/p>\n
Civil fans are likely panicking and would not want a repeat of last season.<\/p>\n
For Masters, the first league victory was good news to Head Coach, Benjamin Kumwenda.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe started the league with a loss but morale is high in camp after the victory. If we continue working hard, we will finish on a good position,\u201d the former Mponela United Coach said.<\/p>\n
Overall, Premier Bet Wizards top the log table with four points from two games, at par with Mzuni FC, but the Peter Mponda side has a better goal difference.<\/p>\n
Red Lions and Blantyre United are third and fourth with three points, respectively.<\/p>\n
Defending champions Kamuzu Barracks are second from bottom without a point from a single game whereas Chitipa United have a single point from three games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
