FCB Nyasa Big Bullets’ Zimbabwean midfielder Ronald Chitiyo scored his first goal for the People’s team as the team drew 1-all against Moyale Barracks in an exciting TNM Super League match played at Kamuzu Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Chitiyo scored in the 35th minute with a header from a Maxwell Phodo’s cross but Peter Ng’ambi leveled the scores for the visitors in the dying minute of the first half with a brilliant header from a Khumbo Mhone’s free-kick.
Chitiyo had a chance to score his second in the 56th minute but Moyale goalkeeper Olyce Nkhwazi intervened to deny the Zimbabwean the second goal and from a rebound Moyale defence cleared the ball for a corner.
Moyale had chances as well but failed to find the back of the next with Emmanuel Allan, Luke Chima and Khumbo Mhone among the culprits.
Lloyd Aaron and Ronald Chitiyo almost got a late winner for the home side but it still ended in a 1-all stalemate which was the ninth and eighth draw this season for Bullets and Moyale respectively.
Bullets are perched on fifth position on the log table with 24 points, 16 points behind league leaders Silver Strikers.
Moyale on the other hand are on position 9 with 23 points level with eighth placed Civil Service United but the civil servants have a better goal difference.
Elsewhere, Mulanje-based FOMO FC lost at home against Mafco FC with a lone goal from Stain Malata who scored in the 22nd minute.
In Lilongwe, the match between Kamuzu Barracks (KB) and Mighty Tigers ended goalless to leave KB on sixth position and Tigers on position 12 on the log table.
