On a late Wednesday afternoon that saw ex-player Chaswe Nsofwa’s body arrived back home from Israel, a darker and mournful shadow descended on Sunset stadium as Zanaco went down 3-1 to their Midlands rivals Kabwe Warriors.
Nsofwa’s body arrived one hour fifty minutes late this afternoon at 15:50 and as the cortège rolled down Great East Road from Lusaka International Airport just 300 meters away from Sunset stadium, Zanaco were heading to their fourth home league defeat of the season.
Goals from Musonda Mweuke, Siloni Jere and Vias Mwendalubi made sure of the 3 points to see Warriors move within earshot of second placed Green Buffaloes.
Warriors are on 43 points, one behind Buffaloes with five games left to play.
Zanaco scored their consolation through substitute Ignatius Lwipa who scored his third goal of the season in what is proving to be a forgettable term for him too at Sunset.
And at Queensmead, Roan United edged closer to survival with a 1-0 away win over Lusaka Dynamos whose Africa ambitions suffered a blow thanks to the loss.
Derrick Kabwe headed in the winner in the 84th minute to give Roan the win in this lively game.
Roan are on 29 points and in 10th place and need just seven points in their next three games to stay up.
Dynamos on the other hand stay 4th and have some work cutout for them in their remaining five matches in to help keep their Caf club cup dreams alive
Wa lya nganga ndiye wa lya nkuku.If we carry on the spirit we will be representing Zambia at CAF next year.I sympathise with Zanaco on Chaswe Nsofwa.He was my favourite striker and I recall writing on this blog that Patrick Phiri has been making a big mistake leaving him out even after winning him the COSAFA last year.Rest in peace MILLA.
njanji ni njanji ba warriors bakalifye boyi ukwamba nakale even i live near chelsea i still think of kabwe warriors whenever i am watching games at stamford bridge. Go warriors Go warriors, Go baice.
To all the Chipolopolo Suppoters coming to Cape Town would you please send us the details which stands you will be seating at. Tickerts are still available from Compu-tickert at the major supermarkets.
We won’t dump our President for a puppet
Recent media reports that Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor Dr Gideon Gono has been barred from entering the United Kingdom, while Australia simultaneously publicised its intention to deport his three children studying there, is not surprising and should enlighten some naïve members of our society who mistake Anglo-Saxon grins for smiles.
So watchout Southern tomorrow it will be you and your children. You cant trust Anglo Saxon once you lose their favour you become the waste enemy. I know a Prof. who gave me a bad mark just because of my colour. He even public said that a black person cannot be intillegent than a white but I prayed for him to forgive because its my art to revenge. Two weeks later he colapsed in front of us whilst teaching. God forbids he see his children if you have not done a wrong the truth comes out. If our politicians can sink so low even to abuse children of our leaders but the same time they want us to cooperate at …
The only team of the nation with a pedigree, Nkhana FC. The Zambian REDS are on their way to torment the premier division teams. Hopefully we will be able to be playing continental club football again. Viva Nkhana FC.
Let’s hope they(Nkana) do not fumble at the last minute and fail to make it to the elite league.How I wish they were leading the pack and not being second to Chambishi.Only two proceed to the premier league.Warriors are vying for continental.I think Warriors have the pedigree because at one time am not really sure if that was ’91 or ’92 we got demoted but we proved it to the nation that we do not belong to division one when we bounced back to premier the following season thereby not lasting beyond one year in the lower ranks.We maintained our team of the likes of Whiteson Changwe,Samuel Chomba,Richard Mwanza,Timothy Mwitwa,John Lungu,Moses Masuwa and many more of national team quality players.WA LYA NGANGA NDIYE WA LYA NKUKU.
Weather you like it or not, Nkhana is the most successful team in Zambian soccer. There is no other team whatsover that can compare to the “Red Devils”. Warriors have will never play continental football, atleast not in this generation. Finito.
People stop crying over spilt milk.Stop living in past glory, NkanaFC is over and done with. Even if you say they won this and that , it does not matter any more.Those days are gone. Look at great teams such as Real madrid, Man U,Liverpool etc, they were winning trophies in the 50’s and they are still doing now.But look at Nkana Fc, they won trophies but what about now? Our children dont even know NkanaFC because it is finished. So to you die hards get back to life and realise that NkanaFC was a team then but no more.
#7 I agree with u, successful in the first Division hahahahahahaha what a fool u are
#7 Dont worry about #6 and anonymous #9. They are very ignorant and they are they ones who are fools. Viva Nkana
#9 You are the greatest fool to have ever walked on mother earth because you can not even comprehend a word as easy as pedigree. People like are not supposed to write here because you fail to portray the intellectual side of your low life.
#8Look, when we praise Nkana as the greatest, we are looking at their achievements. Nkana, whether you like it or yes is the greatest team to ever reached the finals of the CAF Champions League (The most prestigious competition in African soccer), 11 League championships and several cups.
Now show me another team with similar a pedigree and I will be first one to rubbish Nkana’s achievements.
Power 90,Nkana Red Devils of the past,Zanaco of yesterday,Wanderers i wina cungolo of those years,come on guys everything about soccer in this country seems to be finishing.With the sale of Zanaco Bank the football club is now the latest victim even failing to employ a new qualified coach.You see now why we can not perform even at national level.Some body help! Imiti ikula e mpanga.
