msowoyaSubstitute Chiukepo Msowoya scored twice to help Malawi record a come-from-behind home win against Guinea at Kamuzu Stadium in a joint World Cup and Africa Cup qualifier.

Malawi was 1-0 down when coach Kinnah Phiri sent on Msowoya to replace Dave Banda.

He scored two minutes into the second half, firing hard and low past the Guinea goalkeeper Kemoko Camara.

It proved to be the spur the home side needed after Guinea’s Oumar Kalabane put the visitors in front in the 37th minute from a corner.

Msowoya’s second goal was a bullet header from a Joseph Kamwendo corner in the 60th minute.

The victory was Malawi’s first in four Group E qualifying games. Malawi now joins Guinea on three points. Ivory Coast leads the group with nine points from three games, with Burkina Faso in second place with six points from three games.-AP

    I think this boy Chiukepo need to be protected especially from injuries from not so important games, this boy has proved to be most important asset for our team, should be featured in crucial games only and should go as a substitute only because he is at his best when he prays as a substitute it seems he is good at studying the game first before he plays, keep it up boy i think you will make a good coach coz you are good at studying the the game.

    HALLELU YAH!!!

    FLAMES Woyee!!!

    God answered our prayers & in HIM & with HIM all things r possible.

    Inu a ‘ccg’ apa ndi pa ‘KAMUZU Stadium’sipa ‘Graveyard’as u put it. Don’t dent our good ground’s image. I know the implicit meaning of your calling it such but am afraid things turn out the way a name suggests at times so we better have a better name.

    CONGRATULATIONS ALL TRUTHFUL FLAMES FANS & SUPPORTES THAT HAD THE POSSITIVE MIND TOWARDS THE GAME!!! MORE FIRE!!!

    GO FLAMES!!! GO!!! Count me one of u as the journey continues!!!!!!!!

      Let’s be realistic,anawa atisangalatsa.Credit should not only go 2 Chiukepo but both the supporters & kinna.When we were down by a goal,i could still hear some supporters supporting the Flames and after seeing that we lacked someone 2 score 4 us,Kinna brought Chiukepo.Kinna also brought in Robert Bargio Ngambi who gave presure 2 Fenduno & his guys.

    Point or correction The second goal from chiukepo was not from a Bullet Header but from a shoot & the pic jersery no 9 was Russel mwafulirwa not Chiukepo. Chiukepo was wearing shirt no 4
    Please correct.
