Malawi’s amulet Charles Petro inspires Sheriff FC to 4-1 victory
Former Nyasa Big Bullets defender Charles Petro scored his first league goal to inspire his Moldovan Club, Sheriff FC, to a 4-1 win against their archrivals Petrocuba in the National first division league on Wednesday.
The Flames international defender scored the fourth goal at the 64th minute after Gabrijel Boban’s double in the 27th and 42nd minute and Frank Casteneda’s in the 60th minute.
It is his first goal since he joined the club early this year.
The win cements his side’s lead in the league, as they opened a five-point gap at 24 points against Petrocuba.
Sheriff FC have maintained their unbeaten record from the eight games that have been played so far in the league.
Petro is also a regular and trusted defender for the Malawi national football team.
I am a journalist, educator, and activist with passion for telling stories about social justice, sports and political issues. I graduated from Mzuzu University.
I started my career at the Maravi Post online publication in 2012 as an intern while in college.
Upon graduating from Mzuzu University I was offered a job as Sports Reporter because of my background as a goalkeeper and rose to the position of sub editor.
I also had a short stint with Nyasatimes, Malawi Punch and Malawi Digest. Over the past seven years, I have worked intimately with rural organizations and communities in Malawi on human rights, girl child education and grassroots development projects. With an academic background in education, I also volunteer as male champion for girls’ education under Girls Empowerment Networks (GENET) in Malawi’s South West Education Division (SWED).
