Chiukepo hammers in brace for Flames

Posted: 2010-10-11 11:18

Orlando Pirates striker Chiukepo Msowoya made it three goals in his two matches for Malawi on Saturday to deliver a strong message to the Buccaneers that proper fielding is the key if he is to deliver the goods in South Africa.

Chiukepo came off the bench in the 40th minute to score a brace that earned Malawi a 6-2 win over Chad in the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at Blantyre's Kamuzu Stadium on Saturday.

Chiukepo proved that being featured as a lone striker for Pirates is wrong for him as he perfectly partnered former Jomo Cosmos striker Esau Kanyenda, soon after replacing Black Leopards forward Grant Lungu with the game at 2-1.

During the match it took 15 minutes into the opening half for African Warriors' Jimmy Zakazaka to open the scoring, easily side-footing into the net a through pass from Kanyenda after the Chad defence was caught flat-footed and napping.

One became two when provider turned scorer as Kanyenda slotted into the net after being fed clear by Lungu in the 21st minute, much to the excitement of the home crowd in predominantly red colours.

Before the euphoria could die down, Chad proved that they had the individual brilliance, striker Ezechiel Ndouassel reacting the quickest to volley into the net from a left flank cross which found the Flames defence flat-footed. Half-time ended 2-1 in favour of the hosts.

The Flames continued from where they left after break, Kanyenda earning his double with a well-timed scissors kick, connecting Limbikani Mzava's throw in after 52 minutes.

Substitute Msowoya ended hopes of table-anchors Chad's come back when he fired into the net the third after a solo run from the left flank in the 75th minute.

Msowoya put the game beyond the visitors' reach, blasting into the net a direct free kick in the 80th minute to make it three goals in two starts for the Flames.

But Chad refused to die easily; a simple counter attack ended with Marius Mbiani's long range shot curling past a badly positioned Malawi goalkeeper Swadick Sanudi in the 83rd minute.

Flames' midfielder Robert Ng'ambi of Leopards hammered the last nail into Chad's coffin, stylishly flicking Kanyenda's pass past advancing Chad goalkeeper Porena Tapoul.

It was the Flames first win of the Orange 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers that stretched their tally to six points from four games, three of which ended in draws.

I still maintain the believe that Msowoya is the better striker at Pirates than Otorogu if given enough chance. Please Krol try this guy for a longer period and see if he can't solve your goalscoring problems.

Champ "Superbrand": 2010-10-11 11:37

@Mopheme,

Infact, pirates have two best strikers in Msowoya and Otorugu. The problem is Krol is clueless, he cant use them effectively. Look Torrealba at cabbage Fc, he is dead yet at Sundowns he was scoring and creating.

Champ "Superbrand": 2010-10-11 11:40

Krol must play both Msowoya and Oturogu for 90minutes, substitude them only if they get plenty of supply but misses. I watch this players, there isn't enough supply although Pirates always have 60-80% ball possession.

Champ "Superbrand": 2010-10-11 11:41

Now this Msowoya is a striker not that Zim Musunu who is celebrated at cabbage village.

Mega : 2010-10-11 11:44

Msowoya & otologu are better than mashego

mash-do : 2010-10-11 11:52

@nosi ....u seem to be obssesed with chiefs n everytime kickoff post chiefs related reports u r da first one to conplain! Now the story is about msowoya n u comparing him with msona!!! How lame!!! Musona is celebrated cos of wat he has done .......i mean how can u compare a guy who is still to score for his team n musona who has scored 4 goals already?

mlu: 2010-10-11 12:26

Dear Peter Kanjene, can you please give us a report on the game and stop trying to coach Pirates.

Champ "Superbrand": 2010-10-11 12:39

@mash-do,

I only talk about this Musunu of yours because you people make a lot of noise about him. So if at cabbage village they claim that Musunu is a best striker and the useless media follows you, we will have to naturally compare any striker with Musunu. But Musunu is just a cow, the point I was trying to make is Msowoya is better than an Allaged psl best striker. Musunu did nothing to be the PSL best striker and he is in season number two. How many games did Msowoya and Otorugu played so far?

Jam Jam: 2010-10-11 12:44

Bucs have the best strikers in the name of Msowowa and Otorogu.
Because Krol has ignored fielding Schalkwyk as a second striker, he must put his favourate Mbuyane on the bench and start with both Msowowa and Otorogu. Mashego will be on the bench to replace any of the two strikers who is performing well during the match.

Well done to Msowowa for continuing scoring under Flames colors to show Bucs technical team that he is a capable scorer, and not peagent in holding the ***** and dribbling. This does not mean that Bucs must now drop effective Otorogu to the bench. We want both of them in the same line-up to demonstrate Khoza's investment.

Agree with you guys. We can use them upfront in every game and they will terrorise defenders and bury teams in an avalanche of goals, especially kaizer cabbages with their leaky defence.

I think this team will compete fairly good for us this coming weekend against Sundowns

Moneb Josephs

Rooi Mahamutsa
Lucky Lekgwathi
Ruben Cloete
Happy Jele

Andile Jali
Dikgang Mabalane (sub Tlou Segolela)
Daine Klate
Teko Modise (sub Mark Mayambela)

Ezenwa Otorogu
Chiukepo Msowoya (sub Katlego Mashego or Patrick Malokase)

@TheeBest,

But where is Chansa? it will be suicidal to play without him there. Mabalane is good but his crosses are poor. I'll rather start Mbuyane as a right winger, his crosses are the reason we have been scoring those odd goals plus he can also score. If Teko is played then you will have to sacrifice a striker and play him free role or he must come in for Klate in the second half on the left where he can easily cut into the middle. So here is my lineup:

Moneb Josephs

Rooi Mahamutsa
Lucky Lekgwathi
Ruben Cloete
Happy Jele

Andile Jali
Mbuyane(sub Tlou Segolela)
Daine Klate(Sub Teko Modise)
Isaac Chansa(sub Ngobeni)

Ezenwa Otorogu
Chiukepo Msowoya (sub Katlego Mashego or Patrick Malokase)

@thivhu,

hheyi wena cabbage boy, how can that retard be my father. Uyabheda Lo All nsl cabbages. Stop being a follower of that retard or else we'll say birds of same feathers fly to gether.

Undisputed Double-Trebble Champ Mopheme: 2010-10-11 15:21

@Superbrand

Isaac Chansa is suspended for Sundowns game this weekend, he is on three yellow cards..!!

Jam Jam: 2010-10-11 15:37

Superbrand: 2010-10-11 14:52

Chansa is onb suspension. Do you think Bucs cannot do well without Chansa?

@TheeBest
I like your starting line-up

Champ "Superbrand": 2010-10-11 15:41

@Mopheme,

In that case I think Ngobeni will be a good replacement. May be start with one striker and Modise behind him playing free role.

Orlando give chiukepo a time to show what he is.
