TNM Super League Title Race Intensifies, Wanderers Stumbles
Mighty Mukuru Wanderers’ championship aspirations suffered a significant setback Sunday, succumbing 1-0 to Karonga United. Alfred Chizinga’s first-half strike sealed the victory, exposing Wanderers’ sluggishness.
Their title hopes are slowly fading, the Thomson Mpinganjira’s sponsored side struggled throughout the opening half, heightening pressure on their title ambitions.
Meanwhile, pace-setters Silver Strikers stumbled against Creck Sporting Club but salvaged a 2-2 draw, twice equalizing from behind.
Heroic display orchestrated by Lovemore Ngolombe, matured defensive prowess earned him Man of the Match, thwarting Nomads’ second-half resurgence.
In their upcoming challenge Wanderers faces the bitter Blantyre City rivals FCB Nyasa Big Bullets FC on Saturday against what many thought they would be concluding their northern region tour with a potential midweek game in Mzuzu against Moyale Barracks FC.
Now pressure mounts, parading a star-studded squad, Wanderers must reclaim their cup specialist status, a key requirement for coach Meck Mwase if he is to keep his job.
