But Kondwani Kumwenda led the People’s Team in breaking the deadlock with the solitary 61st minute strike after a free-kick.
The goal was a game changer for Bullets who enjoyed possession in the late stages, especially after the introduction of Fischer Kondowe and Henry Kabichi for Mussa Manyenje and Munthali, respectively, to bombard Cobbe’s goalkeeper Chisomo Kaseghe.
