Buffaloes win big

…as FAZ Futsal League defending champions Auto face Bullets test 

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

GREEN Buffaloes propelled to second on the FAZ Premier Futsal League table after humiliating newly promoted Mthunzi Futsal Club 12-3 in a Week-3 fixture played on Thursday night at the Automotive Indoor Futsal Arena. 

The victory was Buffaloes second win of the season to move to six points on par with the league leaders Lusaka Automotive Futsal Club.

The victory over Mthunzi was a perfect response from the Lumano Peter-drilled Buffaloes who were determined to bounce back from the painful 6-1 defeat to MUDI Stars in a week two fixture.

Meanwhile, defending champions Lusaka Automotive will fight to maintain their unbeaten run when they play Kitwe Bullets in what promises to be the game of the week.

Bullets, who have picked two stalemates in the first two games will be looking for their first win while seeking revenge against the defending champions who defeated them in last season’s final.

“The game is not going to be easy because we are playing the defending champions. They boast of having the best players in the league but we will try our best to pick a positive result,” Kitwe Bullets coach Witson Nyirenda said in an interview.

Today’s clash promises some intriguing moments as Nyirenda and his head coach at the national team Andrea Cristoforetti renew their league rivalry.

In the other Premier Futsal League matches scheduled for this weekend, Lusaka Avengers will aim to maintain their perfect run when they play Monze George after last weekend’s impressive 7-1 win over Siavonga Beetles.

Avengers will also fight for maximum three points to reclaim second position on the Super League table where Monze George seat on ninth position with only a point after two games played.

Newly promoted Metro Lilanda have a date with Siavonga Beetles who are still searching for their first win while CSS Petauke and Kafue Saints will renew their rivalry with Saints seeking to protect their unbeaten run after picking one win and one draw in the first two game.
