By Durell Namasani


Silver Strikers are through to the semi-finals of the Airtel Top 8 following a 2-1 win against Dedza Dynamos at Dedza Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The home side were the first to  hit the back of the net through Ibrahim Sadik who scored in the 28th minute from the penalty spot following a handball in the penalty box but Chinsinsi Maonga equalised in a similar fashion in the 51st minute.



Charles Chipala scored against his former team in the 81st minute following a defensive error by Dan Mponya to give the Peter Mponda coached side the win.

The result means that Silver Strikes are through to the semi-finals with a 6-2 win on aggregate as they won 4-1 during the first leg at Silver Stadium.

The central bankers will now face Mighty Mukuru Wanderers who knocked out Bangwe All Stars on Saturday.
