Chitipa United suffered defeat at the hands of Mighty Tigers at Kamuzu Stadium on Sunday as they missed a golden opportunity to shoot to the top of the log after losing for only the second time in the league this season.
Two precious goals from Precious Chpungu and Precious Chiudza were enough to take the Kanjedza outfit to position 11 on the log table.
Chipungu opened the scoring for the Kau-Kau boys from close range in the 45th minute after he was left unmarked in the box.
Chiudza then doubled the lead just four minutes in the second half with a beautiful header before Lorenzo Ghedo pulled one back for the visitors with a header after receiving a cross from China Chirwa in the 78th minute.
Chitipa remain third on the log table with 36 points level with second placed Mighty Mukuru Wanderers and a point behind leaders FCB Nyasa Big Bullets who have played two games less than the Lions of Misuku Hills
The loss has reduced Chitipa’s chances of winning their first ever super league title.
Elsewhere, an early goal by Olson Kanjira helped Kamuzu Barracks to collect maximum points as they beat Moyale Barracks 1-0 at Rumphi Stadium.
At Karonga Stadium, it ended goalless between Karonga United and Blue Eagles as Karonga move to sixth on the log table while Blue Eagles dislodge Mafco FC on position 13.
