FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Secure Hard-Fought 3-0 Victory in FDH Bank Cup, Advance to Quarterfinals
FCB Nyasa Big Bullets first assistant coach Gilbert Chirwa praised his team's composure and tactical maturity as they brushed aside The Boys SFC 3-0 in the round of 16 of the 2025 FDH Bank Cup. The victory secures Big Bullets a spot in the quarterfinals and keeps their quest for a third title in four years alive.
Saturday's clash at Kamuzu Stadium was far from easy, as The Boys SFC sat deep in a compact defensive shape. Chirwa encouraged his players to stay patient and maintain possession, eventually unlocking the opposition's defense with goals from Blessings Mpokera and Mike Mkwate late in the first half.
"It was a good game. We planned for this game to come and win it. We encouraged our players to be serious because cup games are unpredictable, and anything can happen," Chirwa said. "We told them to keep the ball, play it simple, and that's exactly what happened. I think the bus that they deployed was eventually unlocked, and we managed to score the goals."
Chikumbutso Salima added the third goal after the break, securing the result for Big Bullets. The win pushes them into the last eight of the competition, where they will face their next challenge.
"That's our motto—we would like to go all the way and reach another final," Chirwa stated. "However, it won't be easy. We have to work very hard, and I'm sure things will go our way."
The defending champions will now turn their attention to league matters. They will host Dedza Dynamos at Kamuzu Stadium in the rescheduled TNM Super League fixture on September 27th.
