Nyasa Big Bullets End 5-Year League Jinx Against Silver Strikers
Nyasa Big Bullets made history on Sunday when they defeated Silver Strikers both home and away in the Malawian Super League for the first time in five years. The People's Team came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over the Central Bankers, with goals from substitutes Hassan Kajoke and Ephraim Kondowe canceling out Silver's opener from Andrew Joseph.
Bullets' last dominance over Silver was in the 2019 season when they won 0-1 away and 3-1 at home. However, over the past five seasons, the two teams have shared points almost equally, with each team winning or drawing at home and away.
In 2024, Bullets failed to beat Silver as the Central Bankers won away in Blantyre and forced a draw at home in the second round. In 2023, both matches ended in a draw. In 2021, both teams made sure of home ground advantage, with Bullets winning at home, and Silver doing the same at Area 47.
Bullets' double victory over Silver has put them in a commanding position at the top of the league, with a 10-point lead over Silver in third position and a 4-point lead over second-placed Mighty Wanderers. However, both Silver and Wanderers have a game in hand.
The victory over Silver has been hailed as a significant moment in Malawian football, with Bullets' coach expressing his delight at the team's fightback ability. "We knew it was going to be a tough game against Silver, but the team showed great character to come back from behind and secure all three points," he said.
Bullets' dominance in the league this season has been impressive, with the team looking poised to defend their title. However, Silver will be determined to force their way back into title contention and defend the championship they won last year.
Bullets' next league match is against Blue Eagles on Saturday, while Silver will face Wanderers on the same day. Both matches promise to be exciting encounters, with the league title still up for grabs.
Bullets' fans will be hoping for another victory on Saturday as they look to extend their lead at the top of the league. Meanwhile, Silver fans will be hoping for a win to keep their title defense alive.
