TOP TABLE CAMPAIGNERS\u2014Wanderers and KB<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Be Forward Wanderers\u2019 revival in the TNM Super League continued Sunday when they beat Kamuzu Barracks (KB) 2-0 at Kamuzu Stadium to move up to third on the 16-team log table.<\/p>\n

Following the loss, KB dropped to second position on the table behind Blue Eagles.<\/p>\n

KB have 14 points from seven games while Wanderers have collected 13 points from six games.<\/p>\n

Wanderers assistant Coach, Oscar Kaunda, made three changes to the team that thrashed Dwangwa United 5-0 last weekend as Francis Mlimbika replaced Ted Sumani whereas Stanley Sanudi and Peter Cholopi returned from Malawi national football team duties to star for the Lali Lubani Road side.<\/p>\n

KB were solid and hoped to collect maximum points following their 1-0 win over debutants Ntopwa on Saturday at the same venue.<\/p>\n

Having lost both home and away games to Wanderers last season, the soldiers were a disaster in the making as they hardly registered a shot on target in the first-half.<\/p>\n

After labouring in vain for the better part of the half, Wanderers went ahead through a Francis Mkonda header following Sanudi\u2019s inviting cross in the 36th minute.<\/p>\n

The two teams went for recess with the Nomads leading 1-0.<\/p>\n

The second-half was a balanced affair with Mkonda hitting the crossbar from another header whereas KB\u2019s Manase Chiyesa saw his shot ricocheting against the crossbar.<\/p>\n

Wanderers extended the lead when Vincent Nyangulu breached the soldiers\u2019 defence before shooting into the net to end the match on a 2-0 scoreline.<\/p>\n

Mkonda was named Man-of-the-Match.<\/p>\n

KB Coach, Billy Phambala, conceded defeat, saying it was difficult to play two games in one weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had another difficult game on Saturday but we are determined to bounce back,\u201d<\/em> Phambala said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wanderers Team Manager, Victor Maunde, said the win underlined their intent to chase the league title.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boys were impressive and we will continue this way,\u201d<\/em> Maunde said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In another match played Sunday, Savenda Chitipa United ended their fruitless trip to the Central Region with a 1-0 loss to TN Stars after going down 2-0 to Mlatho Mponela on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Tonic Viyuyi scored for Stars while Chitipa\u2019s Christopher Mtambo scooped the Man-of-the- Match accolade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
