Silver Strikers secured their second FDH Bank Cup title on Sunday after defeating Mighty Wanderers 5-4 in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw at Bingu National Stadium. Blessings Singini gave Wanderers an early advantage with a header from Isaac Kaliati's corner delivery before Maxwell Paipi equalized from the spot after a handball infraction. The shootout extended into sudden death after both squads missed initial attempts, with Nickson Mwase eventually converting the winning penalty.
Wanderers manager Bob Mpinganjira acknowledged his squad's determination despite the disappointing outcome while expressing confidence about future competitions. The victory places Silver among only two clubs to claim multiple championships since the tournament began in 2021, matching the achievement of FCB Nyasa Big Bullets. The Lilongwe outfit captured the inaugural edition and continues pursuing additional silverware as Wanderers remain without a trophy in the competition's history.
