Dalitso Sailesi tapped in after 72 to cancel out the lead Mzuni held after n early sixth minute goal by Mabuchi Mkochi who planted home from a well taken free kick past Owen Chaima, goalkeeper for Big Bullets .

Bullets assistant coach Lloyd Nkhwazi said the draw was good result as they collected “vital point because we were facing defeat but a deserved draw.”

Mzuni Coach Alex Ngwira commended his boys for a job well done was naturally disappointed after conceding late goal but said he was otherwise pleased with the way the students performed.

“Obviously it’s a disappointment that we did not win but overall I am very pleased with the way we played against experienced Big Bullets considering the fact that my team is coming from a lower league,” Chirwa said.

Mzuni FC captain Peter Chavula also said the students are coming of age in the flagship league, warning other teams visiting Mzuzu Stadium to face dressing down.
