Malawi’s national football team, the Flames, may have had a disappointing COSAFA Cup campaign, failing to score or win in three matches, but their players quickly redeemed themselves with stellar performances for their respective clubs over the weekend.
Gaddie Chirwa, who started two matches for the Flames, was a standout performer for Mighty Wanderers in their dominant 3-0 victory over Kamuzu Barracks at the Champions Stadium.
