Green Buffaloes....(0)1
Highlanders...........(1)1

A penalty converted in the dying minutes of the match by defender Lawrence Phiri brought Green Buffaloes Football level with Highlanders of Zimbabwe.

This was in a CAF Confederation Cup second round first leg match played at Nkoloma stadium in Lusaka. Highlanders scored one of fastest goals of the competition when Curthbert Malajila scored in the opening minute of the first half.

Malawian referee, Kalyoto Ngosi gifted Green Buffaloes a penalty after striker, John Musukwa was brought down in the penalty area in the 82nd minute. Before the penalty the army side were staring defeat in the face.

The spot kick decision angered Highlander players and officials who claimed the referee's was baised. Buffaloes Coach, George Lwandamina said the early goal unsettled his players and it took them a long time to find their rythm back into the game.

To reach this stage Buffaloes eliminated Chipukizi of Zanzibar by seven goals to nil on aggregate while Highlanders booted out Ferroviaro De Nampula of Mozambique via a 3-1 score line. - znbc

	I watched this match and our strikers were lacking the cutting edge, badlalise a lot of chances, bekufuze sibashaye 3 to 4 goals. All we need now is to hammer them at BF and we should watch out for SEBA who was putting on jersey 12 and another I can't remember his name but was putting on jersey 13.
