Countdown Begins For Zesco and Arrows

Share

Djoliba arrive on Wednesday ahead of Caf African Champions League 2nd round, return leg decider against Zesco United this Saturday in Ndola.
 
The Malians are expected to land just after lunch in Lusaka before connecting to Ndola immediately thereafter by air.
 
Zesco and Djoliba are locked at 0-0 from the first leg played in Bamako a fortnight ago on April 5.
 
The hosts need a win at the Trade Fair Grounds this weekend to qualify to the lucrative group stage of the competition that kicks off this July.
 
Meanwhile, Red Arrows’ Caf Confederations Cup opponents ENPPI of Egypt arrive on Thursday ahead of Saturdays clash at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka.
 
ENPPI lead 4-0 from the first leg of the two sides second round, first leg match played on April 4 in Cairo.
 
That result has left Arrows to try the seemingly impossible feat of overturning the score line to try and advance to next months third round, pre-group stage of the Confederations Cup.
 
And with the two African club cup matches scheduled for this Saturday, all league games will be played this Friday, May 1.

  1. Play as athletes and entertain the croud when necessary. Scoring a goal is practice and developing your intellectual strategy in real time. its eleven players on the pitch at any one time. Hopefully they teams have enough gatorade for rehydration.

  2. Football being what it is you cannot say for sure that ZESCO will go through and Arrows will fail, it could be the other way round. Although as a Zambian I and we all want all our teams to go through.
    Wish you well ZESCO and ARROWS.

  3. too bad red arrows the road has to end here, just try next time, as for zesco, try to work extra had because this can be the end of the road for you as well, good luck zesco and tough luch arrows
