Dynamos Beat Power, Nkana Stay Top of Div 1 North

Share

Lusaka Dynamos moved out of the Faz Premier Division relegation zone for the first time this season after overrunning a poor Power Dynamos 2-0 at Queensmead Stadium in Lusaka today.

Power’s defeat left them without a win stretching back to five matches ago on March 21 when they won one of their only two league games this season after beating Nakambala Leopards 3-1 away in Mazabuka.

Defensive blunders and awful finishing today cost Power  at least a share of the points especially in the first half that they dominated with shots on target.

However, it was Zambia striker Makundika Sakala who made sure with  a brace before and after the break to hand Dynamos a precious 3 points.

His first goal came after stealing the ball off defender Mwape Chongo to rattle the net with a powerful low shot.

Luka Lungu, Dennis Chimena and Elson Mkandawire were all culprits for Power while midfielder Kennedy Mudenda was the only consistent flame in the visitors pack.

Dynamos couldn’t believe how easy they could cut through Power’s defense sometimes after the break and went on to get a grip the game as the Kitwe club showed no hunger to try and overturn the result.

Sakala made sure of the points when he turned in his sides second goal in the 51st minute to see Dynamos rise from 13th to 10th on the table on 8 points.

Vanquished Power are just above them in 9th place and on the same number of points.
NKANA STAY TOP

Nkana maintained a one-point lead at the top of division one north table after a 2-0 home win over Kalulushi Modern Stars in Kitwe.

Nkana lead on 18 points from 9 games after defeating Kenneth Malitoli’s  Kalulushi  who were promoted to division 1 north side from division 2 north where they have been since 2007.

Muchindu from Mufulira are second on 17 points after a 1-0 away win over Indeni in Ndola this afternoon while townmates Mufulira Blackpool are third on 14 points.

Blackpool  beat Nicholas Bwalya’s Luanshya United 1-0 at John Kachofa Stadium on Sunday.

  2. Congratulations to Nkana Football Club.We know you have no sponsors but continue hammering them.One day ‘kaka balika ‘.Good luck and god bless.

  3. #7 Are you blind, can’t you see on the league standing that Might on on number 13. You people that started following soccer after the Garbon Disaster embarrass us sometimes, yaba.

  4. Brave Nchanga are heading for where they belong. Who is laughing to the stadium now, FAZ or Nchanga fans. Keep the spirit boys

  5. It is really sad that big teams such as Mighty, Nkana and Brave should wallow in Div 1. My heart bleeds when I recall the hey days when we used to fill up stadia when these teams were a marvel to watch. I dread watching Zambian soccer matches as the standards are so poor, not forgetting the run down infrastructure. Just take a walk to Shinde, Nkana, Garden Park, Nchanga stadias and your heart will bleed.

  6. Kalampa! It’s time for Nkana to get back to where they belong. I’m a Lusaka boy born and bread but I’m still sad about the fact that most of the legendary CB sides are not in the top league anymore. I guess it’s the times, not so much money invested in football by the mines anymore. When the CB was the power house of Zambian football, we produced players that had longevity. Nowadays players don’t seem to stay on top of their game long enough.

  7. o.k. ba soccer fan # 7 namvela…i was concentrating on the premier league table,i did not see the div 1 table;and i don’t think there is any thing embarassing about my question…..calm down ….i was born in the late 80’s so i wasn’t old enough to follow the team that perished.
