Meanwhile, Pasuwa is reported recovering from his emergency illness which saw Mponda taking charge of the game when Wanderers were trailing 2 goals behind their bitter archivals.
Bullets capitalised on ruthless and dispossessed Mukulu Wanderers Defence and midfield through spectacular exchange of passes by chimwemwe Idana with a striking duo between Anthony Mfune and Hassan Kajoke with Patrick mwaungulu operating from the franks.

Hassan Kajoke Scored through a spot kick after Gabeya fouled Kajoke when he tried to slide Anthony Mfunes cross inside the box.

Adding his thoughts of the game, Wanderers mentor Alex Ngwira admitted his charges lost the game due to complacency and consided silly goals on correctable mistakes.
“We started well but along the way we lost concentration and we concided a goal which could have been defended and our friends capitalised on the mistakes, and we were just disorganized” said Ngwira looking dejected.
His counterpart, Peter Mponda praised bullets players heroics to emerge 4 nill victors in the second semifinal of the 2022 FDH cup.
Mponda said “Tactically, our boys were spot on, we analysed how wanderers play and we saw our previous meeting mistakes when we drew 3-3 today and we, Knew wanderers play long balls and we dealt with long boys and capitalised on those mistakes and the chances created our boys took the chances”.
