Ekhaya FC produced a commanding display to sweep aside Moyale FC 3-0 at Kamuzu Stadium, returning to winning ways in style with a performance full of energy, control, and clinical finishing.
Bright Start, Deserved Lead
The early stages of the match were evenly contested, with both sides cautiously probing each other’s defenses. By the 10th minute, the game remained without a shot on target, though the tempo hinted at what was to come.
Ekhaya gradually took control, applying pressure with fluid attacking movements. That pressure paid off with a breakthrough goal before the half-hour mark
Despite the setback, Moyale managed to keep their shape, though Ekhaya’s momentum had them on the back foot.
As the half wore on, Moyale showed signs of life, pushing forward and winning a dangerous free kick just before the break. Fortunately for Ekhaya, the effort was wasted, and the hosts went into halftime with a 1-0 lead.
Head Coach Enos Chatama opted for changes at the break, introducing Vincent Salawira and Clever Chikwata for Christopher Gototo and Innocent Msowoya, respectively, moves aimed at consolidating midfield control.
Second Half: Strength in Depth
The final chapter of the tie resumed with Ekhaya still in control. Moyale’s double substitution shortly after the restart failed to disrupt Ekhaya’s rhythm. Instead, the visitors found themselves pinned back and increasingly frustrated, culminating in Charles Nkhoma picking up a yellow card in the 69th minute.
Around the same time, Clever Kalambo was replaced by Chisomo Chiwanda, a move that helped sustain midfield intensity. Ekhaya’s pressure eventually bore fruit once again.
Goals Flow in Final Stages
Off the bench and into the headlines, Matamando Mwachipisa curled in a sublime finish to double Ekhaya’s lead after a sweeping move carved open the Moyale defense. A goal that showed both quality and teamwork.
Mathews Masamba was brought in for Safton Chintokoma, a final change aimed at seeing the game through with fresh legs.
Alick Lungu added the gloss to a dominant afternoon, firing home a stunning effort deep into stoppage time to seal the win at 3-0. The perfect end to a near-flawless team performance.
A vital victory that restores confidence and puts Ekhaya firmly back on track. The squad’s depth, discipline, and attacking intent were all on full display in this statement win.
The win takes The Cowboys to 23 points after 13 matches, moving them back to third position. On the other hand Moyale have moved two places down from 12th place as they still remain on 14 points.
“Happy for the boys, they worked so hard to win 3-0 against Moyale FC. It was not an easy match.”
