Vitumbiko Kumwenda, Mathews Masamba and Emmanuel Nyirenda also started for the Nomads as the regulars Lawrence Chaziya, Wisdom Mpinganjira and Christopher Kumwembe were on the bench.
Gregory Mwase broke the deadlock in the 38th minutes when he headed home a well taken free kick by John Chalamanda to give the Elvis Kafoteka- coached side a deserving lead.
The Mchinji-based side continued to search for a second goal and looked more determined to secure maximum points on top of the Lali-Lubani boys.
Wanderers defender Miracle Gabeya was shown a straight red card in the 41st minute after a bad tackle on Justice Honde.
In the second half, Wanderers coach Mark Harrison made a number of changes bringing in the fresh legs of Kumwembe, Mpinganjira, Chaziya and Mphatso Kamanga, but Extreme FC led by Trevor Kalema in defence and Blessings Juma in goals, made sure that the Nomads leave the capital city empty handed.
