FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Secure Hard-Fought 2-0 Victory Over Chitipa United in TNM Super League
Head coach Peter Mponda hailed the grit and determination of his FCB Nyasa Big Bullets side after securing a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Chitipa United in the TNM Super League at Chitipa Stadium on Saturday.
Making only their second-ever appearance at the new venue, Bullets showed maturity and composure in difficult conditions. Henry Chiwaya headed home in the first half, while substitute Babatunde Adepoju sealed the points from the penalty spot late on.
Tough Conditions, Strong Response
"Very tough game for us, but credit must go to the boys for working very hard for these points," Mponda said after the final whistle. "It wasn't an easy game, but that's what we were expecting, and we have delivered under such a hostile atmosphere,"
Fighting Spirit Above All
The gaffer stressed that the win was built on effort and mentality rather than tactical adjustments. "I don't think there was anything tactical in the game. It was about hard work. My players fought for every ball, and that was very encouraging," he added.
With the three points, Bullets moved to 37 points from 16 matches, putting them two clear of rivals Mighty Wanderers ahead of their Sunday fixture away to Mafco FC in Mponela.
Staying Focused at the Top
Mponda emphasized the importance of keeping grounded. "This is just the first game of the second round. It's not the final game, and it's not about moving to the top," he said. "Mighty Wanderers have been getting points as well,"
Boosting Confidence
The coach was also encouraged by the confidence the result would instill in his squad heading into their next assignment before the international break. "I am very happy with the way we managed to force these three points," he underlined.
Bullets remain in the North for their final fixture before the international break, as they head to Karonga for a meeting with Songwe Border United on Wednesday. The result in Chitipa ensures The People’s Team travel with momentum, determined to continue collecting full points and defend their place at the summit of the TNM Super League table.
