Njaliwa came back in the 32nd minute with a beautiful header to make it 1-1.
In the 45th minute, Mphatso Filimoni’s goal was also ruled out for offside and the game remained 1-1 at half time.
Fourteen minutes after the break, Moyale completed the turnaround when Deus Nkutu tapped the ball into the net from Gasten Simkonda’s corner kick.
Speaking after the game, Moyale coach Collins Nkuna praised his boys for the good job.
“I said earlier on that we want to finish at least in top four and today’s result will help us a lot. Let me thank my boys today they did a good job that’s why we have managed to collect all points,” he said.
Silver Strikers coach Abbas Makawa said his side played well despite the result.
He also apologized to the media for refusing to answer their questions on Saturday.
