Malawi’s defending champions, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, are looking to win their fifth league title in a row.
The Bullets, who have played fewer games than any other team in the league, came from a goal down to punish Kamuzu Barracks 3-2 at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre.
With the win, the Bullets have opened a three-point gap, 53 points ahead of their rivals, the Mighty Mukuru Wanderers, who are second with 50 points. The Bullets have played 24 games, while the Wanderers have played 26.
Pasuwa is disappointed with the organisers
Bullets head coach Kallisto Pasuwa is happy with his team’s back-to-back fixtures.
He said his charges are tired of how the fixtures are being arranged.
Bullets have been involved in more competitions this season than any other club in Malawi.
They played in the Charity Shield, Kamuzu Day Celebration, Independence Day Celebration, FDH Bank Cup, CAF Champions League and are now playing in the Airtel Cup and Castel Challenge Cup.
Due to that, the Bullets are left with many games to play, a move that has made officials give them games during the weekend and midweek.
Pasuwa said his charges were tired and wondered why league organizers were not interested in hearing them. He was speaking after a Kamuzu Barracks game in which his side struggled.
“I am disappointed with how we are playing games. Players are also human beings and they need a rest. Is it an offense to play in the Champions League?” he asked.
He added: “Now we have a lot of injuries in our camp, almost half of the team. It is sad and disappointing. There is nothing we can do as coaches but keep on complaining.”
