Ekhaya FC climbed to sixth place in the FDH Bank Premiership with a 2-1 win over Standard Bank Blue Eagles at Mpira Stadium in Chiwembe, Blantyre, on Friday. The match turned on the performance of John Mchema, who scored both goals for the winning side. His first came in the 20th minute, giving Ekhaya an early lead that set the tone for the half. The second arrived in the 70th minute, when he finished off a low cross delivered by Samuel. Blue Eagles scored once themselves, but a single reply was not enough to change the result. The three points matter for Ekhaya's league position, lifting the club into the upper half of the table. For Blue Eagles, the defeat in Blantyre means the trip brought nothing back in the way of points. Mchema's brace also makes him the headline name of the round, with his timing doing most of the damage.
