In the latest round of matches today, Silver Strikers were held to a goalless draw by Bangwe All Stars at Balaka Stadium, maintaining their unbeaten streak since the start of the season. Despite the stalemate, Silver Strikers remain at the summit of the table with 49 points from 21 matches. Their defense has been a key asset, as evidenced by their impressive +29 goal difference, which has kept them as firm favorites for the title.
Meanwhile, Mukuru Wanderers narrowed the gap between themselves and Silver Strikers after securing a narrow 1-0 victory over FOMO FC at Kamuzu Stadium. The win elevates Wanderers to 44 points, only five points behind the league leaders.
Mukuru Wanderers are eager to end their long title drought, their prospects for lifting the championship are still alive.
