Civil Service United beat rookies Baka City 3-nil in a TNM Super League match played at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe on Friday afternoon.
The hosts got their first goal just 5 minutes from kick-off through Chikaiko Batson who capitalised on a defensive error by Baka defenders inside the penalty box.
Emmanuel Savieli added the second for the civil servants seven minutes later after receiving an assist from Damiano Kunje and it ended 2-nil in the first half.
Baka City had a number of opportunities to reduce the arrears in the second half but still failed to find the back of the net with Gule Mwaisope among the culprits.
Batson completed his brace in the 70th minute after the visitors’ defence failed to clear a corner kick.
After the match, Civil’s Masiya Manda was voted man of the match.
Following the result, Civil have now moved to position 5 on the log table after accumulating 14 points, level with the defending champions FCB Nyasa Big Bullets who have a daunting task on Sunday as they host league leaders, Silver Strikers.
Baka City and Bangwe All Stars are the only teams yet to find a win in this season’s TNM Super League and they are languishing at the bottom of the log table.
