Mighty Mukuru Wanderers have dislodged FCB Nyasa Big Bullets from the summit of the 2025/26 TNM Super League after easing past a stubborn Karonga United 2-0 in a rain-soaked mid-week fixture at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre. The victory was a sweet revenge for the Nomads, who a few months ago suffered a 2-0 defeat to the same side at Karonga Stadium in the Airtel Top 8. Coming from a wave of criticism following their shock first loss of the season to relegation-threatened Mzuzu City Hammers, Wanderers approached Wednesday’s match with renewed urgency, discipline, and tactical sharpness. Their intent paid off early. It took only eight minutes for in-form striker Promise Kamwendo to break the deadlock, calmly slotting home after connecting with a brilliant Isaac Kaliyati delivery. Wanderers, deployed in a fluid 3-5-2 formation, continued to dominate possession and stretch the visitors, whose rigid 4-4-2 setup struggled to cope with the Nomads’ width and high pressing. The pressure eventually cracked Karonga United’s resistance as Garddie Chirwa doubled the lead in the 29th minute with a thunderous strike that left the goalkeeper rooted. The Nomads went into the break 2-0 up, and although the second half was heavily affected by a strong downpour, the hosts managed the game well and kept Karonga United at bay. After 90 minutes, the scoreline remained unchanged, sealing a crucial win that pushes Wanderers to 62 points—three clear of their rivals FCB Nyasa Big Bullets. With momentum now on their side, Wanderers will play their remaining three fixtures at home. They host Civo Service United on Sunday before taking on Moyale Barracks and Kamuzu Barracks in their final matches of the campaign.
