Former Wanderers sweeper, Harry Nyirenda, on Saturday guided Ekwendeni Hammers into the quarter-finals of the FDH Bank Cup.
The Hammers were hosting Wanderers Reserve at Mzuzu Stadium and wearing jersey number 7 and the captain’s arm band, Nyirenda scored the only goal of the match with his head with only five minutes before the end of the match to send the young nomads out of the prestigious cup.

The game started with both sides not shy of visiting each other’s goal but poor finishing was common to both as well.
