Young Arrows failed to make major strides at the summit of the Faz Premier League table but stay in command all the same today after drawing away at Power Dynamos.
0-0 was the final score at Arthur Davies stadium in Kitwe where Young Arrows coach Alfred Mulao had vowed to get the 3-points and claim the another ailing giants scalp after beating Zanaco 1-0 at home in midweek.
Young Arrows lead on 14 points, three ahead of 2nd placed Zesco United whose good form against Nkana continued today with a 2-0 home win over their visitors at Trade Fair Ground s in Ndola.
Lottie Phiri and Signs Chibambo scored for Zesco to extend the defending champions unbeaten league run to three games against Nkana stretching back to 2004.
Green Buffaloes recovery continued and this afternoon they beat City of Lusaka 2-1 in a lunchtime kickoff of their Edwin Emboela doubleheader.
John Musukwa put Buffaloes in the lead in the 46th minutes but Ian Bakala equalized to score his second goal of the season 9 minutes later.
Buffaloes however had the last say with regards which way the 3 points would go on the day when Medson Ngulube scored the clincher a minute from time to see the army men garner 9 points from 6 games this season.
Zanaco too moved to 9 points after a convincing 3-1 home win over troubled Chambishi at Sunset stadium.
Roger Kola scored a brace with goals in the 8th and 79th minutes while new Zambia call-up Chisamba Lungu scored in-between with a fine shot from the near post in the 40th minute-the goal the Zambia Under-20 internationals first of the season.
Chambishi’s consolation however, came from an unlikely source via an own-goal goal scored by defender Charles Siyingwa in the 37th minute.
Meanwhile, Green Eagles won their first game of the season today after beating Red Arrows 2-1 in Kabwe.
Arrows loss is likely to see head coach Mathews Phiri’s last match in charge of the airmen after losing his one-game ultimatum.
Norman Malama and Brian Moya were on target for Eagles in the 8th and 35th minutes respectively while Arrows consolation came a minute after the hour-mark through Timothy Mbewe.
Eagles rise from 16th to 14th on 5 points after recording their debut top-flight victory.
They were scoreless draws in the Kabwe Warriors-Lusaka Dynamos and Nkwazi-Roan United matches.
The north Copperbelt derby between Konkola Blades and Nchanga Rangers that was due to be played at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe this afternoon has been postponed.
This is due to major stadium upgrade at the venue to meet Fifa specifications for hosting Zambia’s 2010 World Cup qualifying matches.
Its interesting . May the best club win the league . God bless .
Warriors……….what`s happening, C`mon Kabwe boys!!!
What is the latest result between Esther Phiri and Elina Tissen fight?
ester won tho like usual its disputed, am told the tide would have gone either way i dread the she will fight adroad that will be her end of career.
Without Zesco, abashala ni bangwele.Its good to see my Zesco United continuing from where it left last season and I believe no body can stand in their way as long as they remain consistent and avoid droping points unnecessarily.
