Mfanafuthi Shozi scored an own goal to gift Leopards a consolation.

“I thank God for giving me the two goals and also my friends, my cousin Gerald Phiri and my family who were pushing me to work hard because last season I was struggling.

“Before the game, the coach told me to play the way I know and that I will get the chances,” he said.

Last season, Mbulu played some 29 games without scoring for Baroka.

Now, the Malawian international has had a dream start to the season, scoring three goals in two opening matches.

He is now the leading scorer in the league for the table-topping Baroka.
