Panthers FC Stuns Silver Strikers in Castel Challenge Cup Upset

By Burnett Munthali

In a thrilling Castel Challenge Cup encounter, lower league side Panthers FC delivered a stunning upset by eliminating TNM Super League powerhouse Silver Strikers in a 4-3 penalty shootout victory at Silver Stadium in Lilongwe. The game, which ended in a 2-2 draw in regulation time, saw the Panthers defy expectations and advance to the next round of the cup.

Panthers FC took a surprising two-goal lead, putting the pressure on Silver Strikers, affectionately known as “The Bankers.” However, Silver Strikers fought back with determination, equalizing the score to force the game into penalties. Despite the Bankers’ resilience, Panthers FC held their nerve during the shootout to clinch a memorable victory, sending Silver Strikers out of the competition.

In another Round of 32 match, Mighty Mukuru Wanderers dominated Chipoka United with a staggering 10-1 win at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre. The Wanderers’ emphatic performance secured them a place in the next round, as they showcased their attacking prowess against the lower league side.

Panthers FC’s victory over Silver Strikers highlights the unpredictability of the Castel Challenge Cup and serves as an inspiration for lower league teams competing against top-flight clubs. With the tournament progressing, football fans can anticipate more exciting clashes as underdogs continue to challenge the giants.
