KB’s move to second place has thus pushed Mighty Wanderers and Nyasa Big Bullets to 4th and 5th respectively after the two arch rivals drew 1-1 at Kamuzu Stadium on Saturday.
The Lilongwe-based military side have put themselves in a frame of being title contenders rekindling their 2016 sojourn and the winners was through Zeliat Nkhoma in the 38th minute when he converted a penalty — making him lead in the race for the Golden Boot having scored five goals so far.
Going into the match, Nkhoma was at par with Silver Strikers dual of Adiel Kaduya and Binwell Katinji with four goals each.
Meanwhile, Dedza Dynamos posted their first win of the season after beating Mafco 3-0 at home — slowly make their home turf fortress as they managed to hold both Nyasa Big Bullets and Silver Strikers to 1-1 draws.
When they played away, they lost 0-3 to Civil Sporting Club and they pulled a 0-0 draw against Moyale Barracks in Mzuzu.
They have six points and have moved to 10th position from 13 and have scored five and conceded five.
The injection of Premier Bet sponsorship amounting to K100 million has acted as a morale boaster for Dedza Dynamos and the win has justified their appreciation to their new sponsor.
