Off the back of a 3-0 win over Dedza Dynamos in their previous game, the Servants were looking to continue with the winning streak and their good start summed it all up.
Abbas Makawa decided to start with five offensive players leaving the defensive duties in midfield to Moses Banda only. China Chirwa agonizingly missed the target with his left-footed effort with only Semion Harawa to beat.

The left side of Civil Service United looked busier than the right flank, Muhammad Biason called the keeper into action after being released by Moses Banda.
Raphael Phiri stabbed his former team with the last kick of the first half. Civil opened up in their defense with Emmanuel Allan’s brilliant move, he cut inside before releasing a thunderbolt that was palmed away by the keeper and Phiri’s left-footed effort was too much for him as the hosts took the lead before the break.
Looking for goals in the second half saw Civil Service United pinning Moyale in their own half but Black Alissen’s defence was so solid for the visitors.
Emmanuel Saviel’s introduction escalated the attack for Civil, with the support from the home fans, Moyale Barracks managed to hold the visitors.
