Moyale Barracks have recorded their first home win at Mzuzu Stadium after thumping Azam Tigers 4-0 on Saturday in a TNM Super League match.<\/p>\n
The Lions of Kaning\u2019ina had been struggling to win at home as most times they ended up with a draw or loss.<\/p>\n
But this time, the gods smiled on the hosts, thanks to a stunning performance from striker Dan Katunga who netted a brace while Lloyd Njaliwa and Khuda Muyaba also were each on target.<\/p>\n
Katunga scored two minutes into the first half before he came into lime light again in the 19th minute to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n
The Tigers still were not humbled as they fought on to grab one but Peter Kasonga, Bright Munthali and Dan Kumwenda squandered their scoring chances.<\/p>\n
Moyale, despite leading with two goals, still looked hungry as Njaliwa after receiving a cross from Deus Nkutu from the left frank, headed in to make it 3-0 in the 49th minute.<\/p>\n
Sensing danger, Tigers\u2019 coach Gerald Phiri brought in fresh legs of Dan Sibale formerly of Mzuzu\u2019s City Stars FC, to add fire power but paid no divideds.<\/p>\n
Moyale defence marshaled by Lovemore Mitengo Steve Msiska, Alisen Black and Suwedi Limbani, was rock solid putting strikers Kasonga, Willy Saenda and Munthali at bay.<\/p>\n
As fans thought the game would end 3-0, Moyale brought in substitutes Luke Muyaba and Khuda for tired legs of Steve Mkandawire and Katunga.<\/p>\n
Khuda coordinated so well with Boyboy Chima and he fired home after a pass beating the Tigers\u2019 goalie Nenani Juwaya to make it 4-0 in the 80th minute.<\/p>\n
The win has taken Moyale Barracks\u2019 tally to 12 points from eleven games while the Tigers have 17 points.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, we didn\u2019t play well and we have lost,\u201d Tigers\u2019 technical director, Reuben Alufandika, told the press in post match interview.<\/p>\n
Moyale assistant coach, Themba Mtontholo, was excited saying God was on their side to record first home win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
