Coach Beston Chambeshi believes Nkana have moved closer to reaching the semi-finals of the 2014 CAF Confederation Cup after beating Egyptian side Al Ahly 1-0 in Saturday’s Group B tie played in Kitwe.
Nkana are now second in the group with seven points, one point behind leaders Ahly while third placed Sewe Sport of Ivory Coast have six points and bottom placed Etoile du Sahel sits on five points.
In a post-match interview, Chambeshi described the win against Ahly as sweet.
He saluted his side’s display in the match Nkana revenged the 2-0 loss suffered to Ahly in the reverse fixture played in May in Cairo.
“It’s a sweet victory and I am happy we have won this game,” Chambeshi said.
“I think we are now a foot in the semifinals even before we play Sewe Sport,” he added.
Chambeshi hailed Nkana fans.
“They are fantastic, I am happy with the way they are supporting this team lets hope they will continue with the same spirit.”
Nkana face Sewe in their final Group B match away on 23rd August.

This is the more reason why we all want Nkana to represent us at continental level. Though they have never lifted a continental trophy, Nkana’s performance has put Zambian soccer in a respectable position on the map.
