Bullets beat Karonga United to unofficially defend the TNM Super Legue

 

FCB Nyasa Bullets has unofficially defended the 2023 TNM Super League following a 1- 0 win against Karonga united on Wednesday at Karonga stadium.

The peoples team started the match on a high note as they created three quick chances inside the opening five minutes, but Karonga United goalie denied them.   

Patrick Mwaungulu broke the dread rock on the 7th minutes of the Match after receiving an excellent cross from Ephraim Kondowe.

Despite conceding an early goal Karonga United settled well in match and created a number golden scoring opportunities through Ellie Kayombe, Pilirani Thulu, and Youngson, but couldn’t break the peoples team defense.

Karonga United almost leveled when Thulu delivered a brilliant ball into the box from a freekick, which was headed over the crossbar by Kayombo.

In the second half the hosts pressed for the equalizing goal, but Bullets defense was very solid and protected their lead to take all the maximum points at Karonga Stadium.

Minutes before the final whistle referee stopped the match after the hosts supporters began pelting stones on the pitch in the last additional five minutes.

The Media failed to conduct post-match interviews due to volatile situation at Karonga United.

The People's team have now 59 points from 29 games, while Silver Strikers have 56 points from 29 games and Mighty Mukuru Wanderers have 55 points from 29 games.
