The Blue Eagles Football Club pulled off a stunning upset, defeating defending champions Niassa Bullets 3-2 in a thrilling penalty shootout to win the 2024 FDH Bank Cup.
The match, which took place at the Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe on Sunday, ended 0-0 after regular time and went into a tense penalty shootout.

Blue Eagles goalkeeper Joshua Waka made two crucial saves to deny Precious Phiri and Babatunde Adepoje’s penalties.
Gomezgani Chirwa and Nixon Nyasulu successfully converted penalties for the Bullets but Clyde Senaji’s penalty hit the post to add insult to injury for the Bullets.

On the other hand, penalties from Micium Mhone and Jacob Robert were saved by Richard Chimbamba.
However, Andrew Juvinala, Ganizani James and Lanken Mwale calmly converted penalties to seal the win for the Blue Eagles.
The historic win marked the first time a lower league team lifted a national trophy and sent shockwaves through the Malawian football community.

The Blue Eagles will receive a bonus of K35 million.
The Eagles last tasted cup glory in 2019, defeating Kamuzu Barracks 4-2 on penalties in the FISD Challenge Cup.
