Goshen City Dedza Dynamos produced one of the biggest upsets of the 2026 FDH Bank Premiership season on Saturday after defeating FCB Nyasa Big Bullets 1-0 at Dedza Stadium, ending the visitors’ unbeaten run and climbing out of the relegation zone.

Marco Chiwaya emerged as the match winner, heading home in the 42nd minute to hand Dedza Dynamos a famous victory in front of their home supporters. The result also reinforced Dedza Stadium’s reputation as a difficult hunting ground for the country’s most successful club.

Bullets struggled to create meaningful opportunities throughout the encounter and remarkably failed to register a single shot on target, allowing the hosts to hold on comfortably for all three points.Bullets survive Dedza Dynamos scare

Dedza Dynamos coach Luke Bruno Milanzie praised his players for their determination and fighting spirit, saying they gave everything on the pitch to secure a crucial victory.

The defeat left Bullets’ technical panel visibly disappointed. Assistant coach Heston Munthali questioned his players’ commitment, saying they needed to reflect on whether they possessed the mentality required to represent a club of Bullets’ stature.

He criticised the team’s body language, insisting it did not reflect the standards expected from players wearing the famous red jersey.

The victory lifted Dedza Dynamos from 14th to 13th on the league table with 11 points from 11 matches, moving them out of the bottom three. Bullets, meanwhile, slipped from third to fourth following their first league defeat of the campaign.Goshen City Finances Gwamba, Piksy Album Launches

In Chitipa, Chancy Kaonga continued his impressive form by scoring the decisive goal as Chitipa United defeated Ekhaya Football Club 1-0.
