Civo United Hand FCB Nyasa Big Bullets 2nd League Defeat

Struggling Civo Service United on Saturday shocked TNM League leaders FCB Nyasa Big Bullets by beating them 2-1 in a nerve-racking encounter at Civo stadium in Lilongwe.

Before the game, Civo had 10 points from 10 games, and they perched on position no 14 on the log table. However, with Saturday’s victory over FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, Civo has now moved up three steps to position no 11, rescuing themselves from relegation zone.

The first half ended in a stalemate despite the home team playing beautiful football and missing several chances.

The second half started with Civo continuing dominating possession and it was not surprising to see the team drawing first blood in the 50th minute through a rocket shot by John Dambuleni and ref Godfrey Nkhakananga pointed at the centre.

However, it didn’t take long for FCB Nyasa Big Bullets to respond through Ephraim Kondowe in the 57th minute.

Both teams made some substitutions and kept hunting for more goals but Civil Service United effort paid dividend as captain fantastic Moses Banda scored a winner with a bullet header in the 87th minute after Bullets defenders failed to cut a cross which came from the right flank.

This was a second defeat for Bullets this season. The first defeat was inflicted in a Blantyre Derby by their arch rival Mighty Wanderers who will come head to head with Ekhaya FC on Sunday afternoon at the iconic Kamuzu Stadium.

Wanderers are occupy second position, while Ekhaya FC are 3rd and a win for Nomads will catapult them to position 1. During post match interview, Bullets couch Peter Mponda admitted that his charges were second on the ball, as Civo dominated the game.
