There was no goal in the second half and the game went straight into penalties.<\/p>\n<p>Moyale Captain Lloyd Njaliwa missed the first penalty but Deusi Nkutu, Sandres Munthali, Ntopijo Njewa and Raphael Phiri scored their penalties. Wanderers\u2019 takers, Sanudi, Mkonda, Manyozo, Cholopi and Goalkeeper Thole all scored to send their team into semifinals of the Airtel Top 8 cup.<\/p>\n<p>Yamikani Chester was voted man of the match. In post-match interview, Bob Mpinganjira, coach for Wanderers, was happy after his side overturned the first league defeat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to my boys for making it and I hope we will go all the way to finals,\u201d said Mpinganjira. Moyale coach Prichard Mwansa accepted defeat, saying his players fought very hard but it was not meant to be.
