Bullets were booted out of the elite continental football club competition 3-2 on aggregate after losing 2-0 on Saturday.
FCB Nyasa Big Bullets indicated they will formally complain to Confederation of African Football (Caf) over the manner in which Libyan referee Elmabrouk Mohammed officiated their Caf Champions League second leg preliminary round match against Red Arrows at National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka, Zambia.
Bullets Chief Executive Officer Albert Chigoga says they have gathered enough evidence from their video analysts to prove that the referee decided the outcome of the match according to a Malawi Times Reporter.
“We are out under questionable circumstances. It was clear that the referee decided the outcome of the game. As we move on from the upset, we will formally complain to Caf,” Chigoga says.
He says the formal complaint will follow a protest that they lodged with the match commissioner Erastus Shilunga of Namibia during the match.
But FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Coach Kalisto Pasuwa has attributed their Caf Champions League exit to a number of problems including lack of fair play and domestic fixture congestion.
Commenting on the loss one football fanatic had this to say, “The other problem is that bullets has no powerful competitor here in Malawi, imagine carrying the league for 5 consecutive years, this makes them to feel like they are fully equipped but in real sense they are not. The other thing is lack of international friendly club games, at least they should play two or three games in preparing for the league.”
