FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Women Crush Moyale Sisters 5-0 in NBM Premiership
FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Women continued their impressive form in the NBM Women’s Premiership with a dominant 5-0 victory over Moyale Sisters at Mpira Stadium on Sunday. The champions displayed a clinical edge and class from the first whistle, controlling the game from start to finish.
From the outset, Bullets signaled their intent to dictate proceedings, earning two corner kicks within the opening five minutes. In the 15th minute, a foul on captain Zainab Kapanda resulted in a free kick opportunity for Bullets. Mary Chavinda stepped up, but her effort narrowly missed the target.
The breakthrough came in the 22nd minute when Efa Msukwa released Leah Mussa with a delightful pass. Mussa showed composure, beating the Moyale goalkeeper Mwayi Mhango before calmly slotting into an empty net to hand Bullets a deserved lead.
Despite their dominance, Bullets were guilty of missed opportunities in the first half. Substitute Pilirani Malora came on in the 31st minute for Sharon Dzimau but was denied by Mhango. Chavinda thought she had doubled the lead but was flagged offside. Malora also squandered a golden chance just before the interval.
The hosts returned from the break with renewed energy and wasted no time. Just six minutes into the restart, Kapanda won possession in midfield and fed Chavinda, who finished with composure to make it 2-0. Moments later, Chavinda was on target again, turning in a precise pass from Asimenye Mwanyongo to complete her brace and extend Bullets’ advantage to 3-0.
Moyale attempted to pull one back in the 56th minute through a corner kick, but Bullets’ defense held firm to preserve their clean sheet. A tactical change in the 63rd minute saw Ioulia Yiannakis replace first-half scorer Mussa. The substitute made an immediate impact, reacting quickest to fire home a rebound after Chavinda’s effort had been parried by the keeper, stretching the lead to 4-0 in the 67th minute.
With confidence soaring, Bullets enjoyed complete control of possession. Kapanda missed a golden opportunity to add a fifth after finding herself one-on-one with the goalkeeper, while further substitutions injected fresh energy into the side as Wongani Mnenula, Vanessa Issa, and Frolida Safilodi joined the contest.
The final blow came deep into stoppage time when Issa, combining well with Msukwa, rifled the ball home to seal a commanding 5-0 victory.
Asimenye Mwanyongo was named Player of the Match after her electrifying display. She was at the heart of Bullets’ attacking rhythm, constantly troubling the Moyale defense with her pace, movement, and creativity. Her finest moment came in the second half when she turned provider for Chavinda’s second goal, showcasing her vision and unselfish play in the final third.
Following the weekend’s results, Maule Ladies remain fifth in the NBM Women’s Premiership with 7 points from four matches, trailing the top four by just two points. They face a tough challenge against Silver Strikers Ladies next, who continue to lead the league with a perfect record of 12 points from four games.
Bullets’ head coach Chombo expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance. “I want to congratulate the girls for a job well done. They showed real hunger and determination to win today, especially after coming from a draw against MDF Lioness in our previous match. Before the game, I told them to forget about that result and fully focus on this encounter, because I knew it was going to be another tough contest. In the end, they rose to the occasion and produced a dominant display,” he said.
With their impressive form and determination, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Women are poised to continue their winning streak in the NBM Women’s Premiership.
