Zesco United’s first match in the Caf African Champions League group stage today finished in a draw against visiting Kano Pillars of Nigeria at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe.
The game ended 1-1 in a match that saw Zesco take a 1-0 lead in the first half before Pillars rallied to share the points 15 minutes before full time.
Zesco took the lead in the 44th minute after Rogers Kamwandi headed in his first goal in the competition after a move that saw three headers from Enoch Sakala, Jackson Mwanza and the defender in quick succession inside the area.
Pillars equalizer came in the 76th minute through Hillary Chukwu who rifled in the ball from an unguarded position inside the box after some sustained pressure on Zesco.
Both Pillars and Zesco are on 1 point from their opening Group A match.
Later tonight, Al Hilal and El Merreikh of Sudan will clash for leadership of Group A when they meet in their big Khartoum derby.

The management must improve the appearance of that “stadium”. It is worse than some school football pitches. It is amazing that we have such poor soccer pitches and yet soccer is the number one sport in Zambia. The country is really slipping into a state of shame.
