Ekhaya Football Club stunned Red Lions with a 1-0 victory in a match played at Balaka Stadium.
The winning goal came in the 1st minute of added time, courtesy of Safton Chintokoma’s strike, sending Ekhaya FC fans into a frenzy.
In a post-match interview with Malawi News Agency (Mana), Ekhaya FC Coach, Moses Chavula, praised his team’s resilience and determination.
“Red Lions are a more experienced, but my players contained the pressure well in both periods,” Chavula said.
He added that the hard-fought win earned his team crucial three points, propelling them to the summit of the Premier League table.
However, Chavula cautioned his charges against complacency, urging them to stay focused ahead of their next fixture on Sunday.
“I reminded them not to get too excited with the win as we need to concentrate on the upcoming game,” Chavula emphasized.
Chintokoma who rescued Ekhaya FC in the last minute, vowed to deliver more impressive performances in the future.
“Our supporters should expect another win on Sunday because we are here to win and make them happy,” he said.
This defeat has put pressure on Red Lions who are fighting to return to the elite TNM Super League where they were relegated from two seasons ago.
