\"\"<\/a>TNM Super League leaders Nyasa Big Bullets underlined their hunger to reclaim the championship after thrashing Kamuzu Barracks (KB) 6-0 at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre Sunday.<\/p>\n

It was a timely response from Bullets as second-placed Silver Strikers and third-positioned Be Forward Wanderers also won convincingly on Saturday to temporarily narrow the gap.<\/p>\n

Silver defeated Red Lions 2-0 whereas Wanderers thumped Blue Eagles 3-0 to pile pressure on the league leaders who remain six points clear. Bullets have 49 points from 21 games.<\/p>\n

The 2015 champions fired from all cylinders on a hot afternoon and the contest was virtually over by the end of the first-half when the Lilongwe-based soldiers trailed 0-3.<\/p>\n

It was a repeat of the five-star performance which the People\u2019s Team displayed on Friday when they booted out Southern Region Football Association Premier Division side Changalume Barracks by the same margin.<\/p>\n

The chief architect of Bullets\u2019 three goals was winger McFarlen Mgwira. Apparently, the unsung hero is the most overlooked player at Bullets.<\/p>\n

Veteran forward Chiukepo Msowoya put Bullets ahead in the fifth minute before Nelson Kangunje and Bright Munthali scored the second and third goals in the 34th and 36th minutes, respectively.<\/p>\n

Bullets continued the rout in the second-half through Munthali (60th minute), Msowoya (79th minute) and substitute Mussa Manyenje (90th minute).<\/p>\n

KB, who beat Nchalo United 2-0 on Saturday, were hoping to halt Bullets\u2019 unbeaten run in the league but never came close to achieving that feat.<\/p>\n

Bullets Coach, Rodgers Yasini, hailed his charges for executing his game-plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not easy to win games during this time as all the teams are also chasing points. But my players executed whatever we planned,\u201d<\/em> Yasini said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

KB Coach, Temwa Msuku, said they will not waste time mourning the defeat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a difficult game on Saturday but we won. My players were exhausted when we came into this match. We wanted to play a high pressing game but we failed to sustain it,\u201d<\/em> Msuku said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other matches, Michael Tete scored a goal as Mzuni ended Masters Security\u2019s unbeaten run with a 1-0 win at Mzuzu Stadium whereas Civil Sporting Club and Mafco drew 2-2.<\/p>\n

Lawrence Chaziya and Innocent Tanganyika scored for Civil while Martin Masoatheka and Kingsley Nkhonjera were on target for Mafco.<\/p>\n

In Mulanje, Azam Tigers came from behind to beat Blue Eagles 3-2.<\/p>\n

Peter Kasonga, Luke Chima and Mathias Nyirenda scored for Tigers while Maxwell Salambula and Stuart Mbunge netted for Eagles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
