“It feels good to score at your new club because it gives confidence to the coaches to trust you.
The goal has come at the right time as I have been called for national duties by the Flames coach. I will give it my best so that I can also help my country to win the remaining matches,” Mhango said.
According to statistics, at the Princess Magogo Stadium, Mhango had the joint most shots as he had four shots on goal, most touches in the opposition box (five), most successful dribbles (two) and second most duels won in the game (20).
The former FCB Nyasa Big Bullets forward was withdrawn on 82nd minute after picking a yellow card in the 74th minute and was the fourth highly rated overall player in the match.
