Moyale FC’s struggles at Mzuzu Stadium have continued since their return from Rumphi Stadium, with the team yet to register a home victory in four matches.
The latest setback came on Sunday when they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Silver Strikers in the FDH Bank Premiership.
Innocent Shema scored the decisive goal in the seventh minute with a header from a well-taken free kick.
Moyale pushed for an equaliser in the second half but failed to convert their chances as Silver Strikers held on for a 1-0 victory.
Speaking after the match, Moyale head coach Pritchard Mwansa expressed disappointment with his team’s failure to win at home.
“It is disappointing that we are struggling to get a win here since coming back from Rumphi. We need to change our attitude. We have not won any games here, only draws and a loss. As a coach, I have to do something, and we will work hard to turn things around,” said Mwansa.
Since returning to Mzuzu Stadium, Moyale have drawn 2-2 with Masters FC, 2-2 with Kamuzu Barracks and 1-1 with Mighty Wanderers, before losing 1-0 to Silver Strikers.
Meanwhile, Silver Strikers head coach Patricio Kulemeka expressed satisfaction with the result.
