Katongo makes losing start at Golden Arrows

Share

Christopher Katongo Golden Arrows debut was an anti-climax on a forgettable Wednesday evening overall in a 2-1 home defeat to Mpumalanga Black Aces.

The under-fire Zambia captain joined Golden Arrows last week on a reportedly four month deal after seeing out his three-year deal with Chinese side Henan Jianye last October.

However, Katongo’s debut was marred even further when his compatriot Joseph Musonda scored an own-goal in the 26th minute to give Black Aces a 1-0 lead into the break.

Katongo started the match before he was substituted in the 56th and replaced by Namibian Rudolf Bester.

And no sooner than Katongo was substituted, than Bester scored Arrows’ face-saver.

The night also saw striker Festus Mbewe continue to misfire ever since joining Arrows on a six month deal from Nkana in the January transfer window.

Mbewe was eventually substituted in the 67th minute as Arrows remain rooted at the bottom of the PSL table on 13 points with ten games left to play.

Meanwhile, Clifford Mulenga came on in the 90th minute for Black Aces after replacing Nigerian and ex-Pirates midfielder Onyekachi Okonkwo.

Black Aces are 10th on 27 points following that away win.

HOW can a player from NKANA shine in SA , when NKANA is a useless Club that wins by amalilisho (Fake penalty aganst swallows of swaziland), juju (Injuring 3 key players for KCC) AND SOON TO BE ELIMINATED BY ZAMALECK. On Katongo it was not Just his day, the guy is smart , he will shine next time.
