The curse of conceding goals in the dying minutes came back to haunt the Junior Flames as they gave away a 2-nil lead to draw 2-2 against China’ Guaxghouz R&F FC during the official opening ceremony of the newly built 40 000 capacity Chinese funded Bingu National Stadium on Saturday afternoon in Lilongwe.
Binwel Katinji scored in each half to give the home team a deserved 2-nil lead but with few minutes to play in the second half, Zeng Chao and Xiao Zhi silenced the home fans in front of Malawi President Peter Mutharika when they pulled level in an unbelievable circumstance.
With top gurus dropped, the Junior Flames displayed one of the best performances, with Dalitso Sailesi being a thorn in the flesh for the visiting side.
Both teams were unable to find the back of the net, with Huang Zhengyu coming close to scoring when the hosts’ defence was caught napping. Just when everybody thought the game was ending goalless in the half, the home team got on the score sheet.
A cross from the right flank met Katinji in the air to head past Han Feng in goals for the visitors, 1-0.
The Junior Flames almost doubled their lead through Levison Maganizo whose long range missile was blocked by Yi Teng in defence for the Chinese side.
Sailesi, who was the main man on the day, made his way into the box to release Katinji, who, instead of putting the ball into the back of the net, opted to feed Issac Kaliyati on the edge of the penalty to finish off the job but the Be Forward Wanderers winger shot wide and it ended 1-0 at half time.
Come second half, the midfield battle intensified between Maganizo and Zhang Gon as the two teams settled in the middle of the park. Guangzhou were able to keep possession but found it very difficult to unlock Chisomo Mpachika’s led defence as it kept on frustrating the visitors.
Their realistic chance in the half fell through to substitute Zhi who released a thunderous shot outside Malawi’s goal area only to be denied by Lemani Nthala for a corner. Against the run of play, the Junior Flames doubled their lead in a dramatic fashion.
Guangzhou defender Xiang Baixu lost possession in his own half when he tried to dribble past Katinji, allowing the Silver Strikers star to smash home from a close range, 2-0. This was a wake up call for the visitors who then started attacking with intent, forcing Nthala from producing numerous saves to keep the Flames into the game.
However, Malawi’s resilient did not last long as Chao scored a beauty following a defensive relapse from the hosts, 2-1.
The hosts were too defensive as they tried to protect their slender lead, allowing the visitors to push harder in search for the equalizer. With three minutes to go, the home team was stunned.
The first scorer combined well with De Almeida Junior Ocimar to release Zhi who made no mistake to slot the ball into the back of the net to completely silence the home team, 2-2. With five minutes added on by referee Duncan Lengani, Malawi could have restored their lead when Dalitso Sailesi’ shot was tipped over the bar by Feng for a corner, 2-2 it ended.

Nyasa Times has not reported on this wonderful development. Their journalists are trained to write negative stories only. SHAME. Ikakhala Times Newspaper ndiye yaonekera pambalambanda after leaving a comment (on Chaponda new item) that has exposed their biasness. Well done Malawi24

my name is Elizabeth Musonda and I am from kenya,I was one of those millions of people around the world suffering from HIV/AIDS and and i was healed through the help of doctor abumen, I was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 2010, I had no hope and felt useless. All these negative feelings quickly suppressed my body immune system and my body started to deteriorate quickly with physical signs of rapid weight loss, my story began to change for good when i met DR ABUMEN through a man’s testimony, he sent me an herbal medicine which i took for some days, after taking the medicine according to doctor’s instruction I went to the hospital to get my blood tested for HIV/AIDS. The doctors were amazed when my first blood test result came back negative. They asked me to go back again for another test, which I did and the result came back negative. The doctors could not believe still,To cut the story short, “DR ANUMEN HERBAL MEDICINE HEALED ME COMPLETELY WITHOUT A TRACE OF THE DEADLY HIV/AIDS VIRUS IN MY BLOOD” am so happy, am sharing this to the world to save some lives, believe me there is a cure, you can contact dr abumen on his email address [email protected] and you can also call his number which is +2347085071418.
