Mighty Mufulira Wanderers have thumped ten-man Nakambala Leopards 3-1 at home in Mufulira on Sunday to improve their chances of surviving Super Division relegation.
Winning this Week 35 match played at Shinde Stadium has pushed Wanderers one place up into 15th position with 39 points from 35 matches played.
Striker Mathews Macha registered a brace with Guily Manziba scoring Mighty’s other goal and Emmanue Phiri inked Nakambala’s consolation.
The home side took a 2-0 lead into break thanks to Manziba’s 20th minute strike and Macha’s 38th minute goal.
Macha completed his double after 51 minutes before Phiri’s goal in the 72nd minute.
Nakambala played the last eight minutes with one man down after defender Gift Wamundila received a straight red card from referee Evans Malata.
Meanwhile, Nakambala remain stuck in 14th place with 40 points after playing 35 matches.
Looks like Mighty is surviving relegation.
But a great team shouldn’t be surviving relegation. It should be competing for top honours. Noone but Mopani is to blame
the problem is also that big teams always come to get our players after the season ends.our players rightly so are moved by the big money offers which is common in football
Mighty started gaining momentum when one executive who was selling players was forced to resign. Let’s hope no predators will snatch their top players.
@Mr Mighty This is not a small team. Mighty are a big team so why don’t they hold on to their players? Tell your sponsors, Mopani how big a club you are so they can realise you need proper sponsorship
