Blue Eagles on Wednesday wasted a golden chance to catch up with Be Forward Wanderers at the summit of the TNM Super League log table.<\/p>\n
Eagles dropped points in a goal-less draw with Mafco at Nankhaka Stadium in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
A win would have taken Eagles to 19 points, at par with the Nomads.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, Eagles have, on goal difference, displaced Moyale Barracks on second position. Both teams have 17 points.<\/p>\n
Eagles have played 11 games, more than any other team in the league this season.<\/p>\n
In a post-match interview, Eagles Coach, Audloy Makonyola, said his side missed scoring opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe created some chances but luck was not on our side. It was a good game and both teams played good football,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mafco Coach, Temwa Msuku, though frustrated with the draw, said his charges played according to instructions.<\/p>\n
Msuku has set himself a target of a top-six league finish this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know the problems of the team and we will definitely work on them before the end of the first round,\u201d Msuku said.<\/p>\n
The Salima-based soldiers have made a slow start to the season compared to the previous four seasons.<\/p>\n
Mafco are on position eight with 12 points from nine games.<\/p>\n
Before the start of the season, Mafco lost top forward Richard Mbulu to Mozambican side, Costa do Sol.<\/p>\n
However, the team has received a boost after some players returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
