Mighty Mukuru Wanderers president and board chairperson Thomson Mpinganjira has apologized to the team’s followers for Sunday’s 1-2 loss to their arch-rivals FCB Nyasa Bullets in a TNM Super League match at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre on Saturday.
A statement from the business mogul and philanthropist reads:”On behalf of the board of directors for Mighty Wanderers Ltd, and on my own behalf, I would like to commend all our supporters for their exemplary behavior during the game against Bullets at the Kamuzu Stadium despite the loss.
“Your support and dedication were evident, and it means everything to me personally and the entire board of directors.
“I personally apologize to you following today’s loss. Like all of you, I feel the weight of this outcome, and I share in the disappointment. I understand the depth of your pain and the emotions that come with it, and it gives room to go back to the drawing board.”
The Nomads boss also says he has taken note of the concerns and comments made by the team’s followers.
During the match, Ronald Chitiyo and Babatunde Adepoju secured first-half goals for the Bullets, while Sama Tieri’s 87th-minute goal brought Wanderers closer to claiming a point, but it was not enough.
Reflecting on the match, Wanderers’ coach Meke Mwase acknowledged his team’s shortcomings.
“We planned to win the game, but Bullets outplayed us. We need to accept this result and focus on the next game,” said Mwase.
On his part, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets’ coach Callisto Pasuwa praised his team’s commitment.
“We played according to our plan, and the players executed well what we had trained for,” he said.
Wanderers currently sit in second place with 44 points, four points ahead of Bullets, who are in third place.
