Kalaba inspires Mazembe

Share

Chipolopolo midfielder Rainford Kalaba scored a late goal to propel TP Mazembe to a 1-0 win over Tunisia’s CA Bizertin in a CAF Confederation Cup match in Lubumbashi on Sunday.

Kalaba scored the vital goal for the Congolese side inside the last five minutes to help Mazembe go top of Group B on seven points.

This was Kalaba’s first goal for Mazembe this year.

The midfielder was in the Mazembe starting line up along with his Chipolopolo team mates Stopila Sunzu, Hichani Himonde and Nathan Sinkala.

The four players have been named in coach Herve Renard’s Zambia squad to face Ghana in this Friday’s crucial 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Kumasi.

The quadruple is expected to join the Zambia squad which has set up camp in Johannesburg on Monday.

  1. It was a beauty of a goal. Kalaba rounded up four defenders and then the keeper. One defender ended up with the goal post hitting him between his legs. I mean they tried they best to stop not only him but also the ball from going in…but all in vain. Kalaba is just something else!

    • Yes, King’s Kid, I watched it. Throughout the game Kalaba kept supplying hair raising balls to the strikers who, sadly enough, wasted them all. It was in the dying minutes that Kalaba finally decided to take the matters into his own hands (feet). The rest became history and resounding smiles throughout the DRC. He made my day.

      The King’s Kid, is that a title from a famous book? Yah, that’s a nice book.

    • for sure he should try his luck at znbc, who knows, he might be better than those ‘bores’ we are forced to listen to every other game played.
