Bangwe All Stars’ 1-0 win against FCB Nyasa Big Bullets at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre on Saturday has given them confidence that they can leave the relegation zone.

In a post match interview, the team’s Head Coach Trevor Kajawa said: “This is the start of Bangwe All Stars pressing to leave the relegation zone. I told my boys we are not doing well in the league, and we need to start with Bullets; they did it, and I have to praise my boys.”
Speaking on the recipe for their recent good run, Kajawa explained: “The secret to our victory is hard work. Our tactic is to start defending and counter-attacking, which works.”
On his part,FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Head Coach Kalitso Pasuwa accepted defeat, saying: “We need composure when we get to the goal. Going forward, we need to quickly correct where we are making mistakes; it’s on counter-attacks.”
On whether they still have chances to defend the league as defending champions, Pasuwa said they still have more games to play, expressing optimism.
