Mzuni FC\u2019s TNM Super League 1-1 draw against Red Lions at Mzuzu Stadium on Saturday was \u201cwell deserved and crucial\u201d, the hosts coach, Alex Ngwira, has said.<\/p>\n
The Mzuzu side saw their early lead cancelled out in front of their supporters and Malawi National Football Team Coach, Ronny Van Geneugden.<\/p>\n
Wakisa Mwenengube headed home from a Lazarus Nyemera free-kick after four minutes.<\/p>\n
The visitors waited until the 20th minute to equalise.<\/p>\n
Kumbukani Mwambene tapped in from a rebound after Innocent Bokosi\u2019s close range effort was well saved by Chimwemwe Kumkwawa in Mzuni\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a difficult game and their system of playing aerial balls was hard to contain. They were also more physical [than us] throughout. That was a problem to my players.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo to get a point from the game is not bad at all. I would have been much worried if we had lost. Mind you, they came from behind [to equalise] and I feel delighted,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Lions Coach, Mike Kumanga, rued his side\u2019s missed chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really wanted to register our first away league win but that was not the case. As others put it, a team should expect one of three results in football \u2013 a win, a defeat or a loss. I am happy with the point,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mzuni remain at the league\u2019s summit with eight points from four games.<\/p>\n
Before facing Chitipa United Sunday, Lions had five points from three games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
