Quarterfinal draws for the inaugural Barclays Cup have been announced
by the tournament sponsors after completion of second phase
preliminary round matches yesterday, Saturday.
Topping the quarterfinal draws is Zesco United’s match-up with
top-flight arch rivals Lusaka Dynamos to be played at Woodlands
stadium in Lusaka in last 8 doubleheader on October 13.
It was from the same venue this past weekend that Dynamos and Zesco
advanced to the last 8 after convincing wins over Mining Rangers and
Mazabuka United.
Dynamos beat division 1 north club Mining Rangers 2-0 thanks to goals
from junior international midfielder William Njovu and ex-Under 17
striker Kasuba Mwila in the 17th and 90th minutes respectively.
Zesco on the other hand recorded the second highest scoreline in the
Barclays Cup so far when they crushed division 2 south club Mazabuka
United 5-0.
A brace each from striker’s Nicholas Zulu and Enoch Sakala and
including a sublime long-range strike from playmaker Rainford Kalaba
made sure of Zesco’s easy passage to the quarterfinals next month.
The other quarterfinal clash at Woodlands on the same date will
feature Green Buffaloes and division 1 south promotion chasers Green
Eagles.
Buffaloes and Eagles sailed to the last 8 after 2-0 and 6-0 wins over
Young Green Eagles and Kascol Rangers respectively on August 18…the
latter’s emphatic triumph the biggest scoreline recorded in the
Barclays Cup to date.
And the Nchanga stadium doubleheader will showcase an all-promotion
showdown between Chambishi FC and Riflemen while Nkana take on Konkola
Blades.
Chambishi on Saturday dumped ailing league champions Zanaco out of the
Barclays Cup after a 2-1 win while Riflemen beat Chingola Leopards
2-0.
Nkana and Blades booked their quarterfinal places earlier on August 18
after similar 1-0 wins over Kabwe Warriors and Freedom Rangers
respectively.
