By Jeden Chilikuzako, Nyasa Times
Defending champions Escom United suffered their second consecutive defeat of the season in 24 hours in what could best be described as a weekend from hell for them in their northern region outing.
On Saturday, Moyale were responsible for ending Escom’s unbeaten run in the top flight while on Sunday new boys Embangweni delivered a master class to inflict another defeat to the electricians with a 2 – 1 victory at the Mzuzu stadium.
Goals from Stuart Mbonge and Dan Lusale scored for Embangweni while Heston Munthali was on target for the electricians who are still top with 15 points from 7 games.
Zomba United and Silver Strikers settled for a one all draw at the Zomba Community Centre Ground.
Patrick Luhanga scored for Zomba United while new catch Frank Banda did the same for the central bankers who travel back to the central region with a point from a possible 6 after their defeat to Wanderers on Saturday.
Oscar Chapitapansi’s brace ensured maximum points for Mafco against Cobbe.
Blue Eagles were 1 – 0 winners over Blantyre United with Chikondi Mpulula punishing his former club.
