Silver Strikers Coach Urges Team to Convert Chances into Goals Against Mighty Tigers
Head Coach of Malawian football giants, Silver Strikers, Peter Mgangira, has challenged his team to make the most of their opportunities against Mighty Tigers as they aim to progress to the round of 16 in the FDH Cup. The two sides are set to face off in the round of 32 on Sunday.
Mighty Tigers proved to be a tough nut to crack when the teams met in league action two weeks ago, with the match ending in a goalless draw. Mgangira believes that the team's sharpness and readiness are crucial for advancing to the next stage of the competition.
"We must capitalize on our chances and convert them into goals. Our league performance shows that we have the ability to create opportunities, and it's important that we take them when they come," said Mgangira.
Silver Strikers' recent trip to the northern region of Malawi proved to be a successful one, with the team securing a 0-2 win against Mzuzu City Hammers. Midfielder Uchizi Vunga, who missed the league encounter against Tigers due to injury, has now returned to the squad and is eager to help his team progress.
"We had a good trip up north, and the win against Mzuzu City Hammers was a confidence booster for us. We are determined to take that momentum into this match against Mighty Tigers," said Vunga.
Mighty Tigers have proven to be a formidable opponent for Silver Strikers in recent times, and Mgangira is under no illusions about the challenge that lies ahead. "We know it won't be easy playing against Tigers. They are a good side, and we had a goalless draw with them in our last league encounter. But we believe that if we create chances and take them, we can progress to the next round," he added.
The FDH Cup represents an excellent opportunity for Silver Strikers to add to their trophy cabinet, and Mgangira is confident that his team is up to the task. "We are ready for this match, and we believe that if we take our chances, we can go far in the competition," he concluded.
