    • Nkana vs Zamalek should be played at Heroes Stadium, you can;t risk those already pissed-off Egyptian in Kitwe.
      I just feel sorry for Nkana when they visit protest-toned Egypt.

  1. Zamalek or any team in our way, we have to beat them.
    Train more Nkana. Now is the time.
    Harmmer Zamalek with more goals seriously. They are not the old team we used to know.
    Thank you for the good result.

  2. As Kalampa loving soccer fan am very HAPPY & am wth my WIFE cerebrating NKANA VICTORY & WOMEN’s DAY.
    Next home ground on 22/03/14 wth Zamaleki wil score more GOES & away wil also make it to the next ROUND.

    GO! KALAMPA GO!

    WE ARE……
    12 TIME CHAMPION.

  3. Cool win! its good that a weak defence team has a good striking force! but there is need to work on defence

  4. Our olden days when “Ipenga lyalelila pa Chilata” with Pharaohs’ Zamalek. Ipenga is back! Now is the time to wallop ’em!

  5. Jay jay where are u?say something give praise where it’s dual not jst criticism al da time I remember u had said nakana wud not make it hahaha now u r eatin a humble pie

  6. why is it that all the times zambian clubs play north and west African teams the second league is away from home?? These draws are fishy favouring north and west africa its all Issa Hayatou’s gymic…

  7. Always support the local clubs and always do watch and visit stadia when on holiday.I wish Nkana the best against one of the most successful African clubs….not only do they have to train and prep. physically but also psychologically to break thst dreaded North African jinx.

  8. its better to call nkana as kalampa not as devils they are not devils they changed this name along time ago why should we praise the devil anyway..

  9. Kalampa Winning away in Kampala! That’s a feat. Zamalek can fall. There is no football in Egypt at present so Nkana should take advantage

  10. OMG is this what happened in Kampala?? For real? I couldn’t believe the information on Lt on saturday and waited for 2 days hoping to see real results but it seems NKANA WON KA. The joy will be short lived because ZAMALEK is no joke team, they will hammer you pa chilata as u call it ,its unfair for a club below par like NKANA to proceed because they would end up giving the fans the worst CUP final ever in CAF champion league,i mean its like chipolopolo exceling in world cup up to final, with Spain. What would be the results ?very devastating and Soccer rules would end up being redefined!!

    • Anyoko, that’s how far behind you are in football, still talking about Spain when the form team at the moment is Brazil who wired the team that beat Spain 1-0 by 5 goals to nil. Still basking in past glory while Nkana is winning now.
