I think commentators were Elias Kapangama and Pearson Chunga. The goalkeeper John Dzimbiri’s nickname was Chimbalame

Frank Sinalo scored the first goal in 1988’s final of East and Central Africa Senior Challenge Cup at Kamuzu Stadium. The writer of this article has mistakenly credited the goal to Holman Malunga
