Zanaco Crush Enyimba

Zanaco thumped Enyimba of Nigeria 4-0 today at Sunset stadium in Lusaka to take a comfortable first leg lead in their Caf Confederations Cup first leg last 16 match.

Zanaco took just two minutes on the clock played to take the lead through defender Eugene Shamakamba who headed in a corner kick from Allen Mukuka to make it 1-0.

Zanaco were back on target six minutes later through Mathews Macha who crashed in a close -range shot past Enyimba goalkeeper Ejiogu Chiyoke.

Enyimba’s best attempt in the first half came from their lively winger Philip Auta on 15 minutes who skipped pasted Zanaco’s defence but saw his tame shot sail across the face of the home sides goalmouth.

Zanaco  made it 3-0 in the 29th minute through Zambia international forward Ignatius Lwipa who his left rifled in a shot from inside the box following a layoff from Venecious Mapande.

Wedson Nyirenda’s side completed a good day at the office in the 44th minute when striker Winston Kalengo headed-in sublime ball from close range past Chiyoke.

  1. This just shows how Nigerian football has come to the d.o.g.s …well done boys …Zambia deserve a spot at the next world cup in Brazil ….we will be there boys …

  2. atleast for the first time to impress zanaco hoping that you will not be beaten 5-0 in nigeria like you have conceded big margins away before.congratulations nevertheless.

  3. These chaps just landed and straight onto the pitch? Not convinced but a win is a win!

  4. This is good guys and hope you will not disgrace us in nigeria. Beat them even there..go go Zanaco

  5. Well done but considering they just landed it should have been 9-0. Zanaco need to be organised when they go to naija. Well done

  6. Good teams know with a 4-0 lead pack the bus and kill of time as much as you can in the first 45min. On the other hand try and stretch the game by sneaking a goal away from home. Well done sensational.

  7. How the mighty have fallen! The name Enyimba used to instill fear and dread into the hearts of big North African teams. Now they even lose to Zambian sides.

  12. This was Zambia at her best. That is how we used to do it! Please Nkana come back too and teach these teams football lessons!

  13. Go Zanaco go. I missed the game though. We need to be tactically discpilined in the return leg. Enyimba will fight us to the end at their back yard. We should not through to the dogs this good result. Go Zanaco go.

  14. viva zanaco..well done keep carrying the Zambian flag..you have done us proud.

  15. Coach ,the approach now should differ ,less attack but more possession .Remember if you can score 4 ,they too can ,so lock the midfied ,no space for them .Mwaumfwa boss………..
