Ngalande debuts for Wits

Malawi national football team (the Flames) striker Robin Ngalande finally made his competitive debut for South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) side Bidvest Wits on Friday in a Telkom Knockout Cup against Kaizer Chiefs.

Wits won the match 3-2.

Ngalande was thrown in as a second-half substitute for Papy Faty in the 88th minute.

Speaking from Johannesburg, Ngalande said he was excited to get a run.

“I was very excited although I played for just a few minutes. It was enough to lift my spirits.

“Now, I will work extra hard to earn a position in the team,” said Ngalande.

However, the 20-year-old stated that he was not bitter to be reduced to the bench saying Wits have a number of good players.

“I will take every game at a time,” he said.

Ngalande was signed by Wits after ending his romance with Spanish La Liga side Atletico Madrid’s youth side.
