Zesco United striker Enock Sakala has said he is disappointed that his ambitions to score more goals in the Caf Champions League has come to an end.

Sakala was Zesco’s top scorer in this seasons Caf Champions League on five goals before the Ndola sides semifinal interest ended  last week with a 3-2 away defeat at Kano Pillars of Nigeria to subsequently finish 3rd in Group A when they beat Al Hilal of Sudan 2-0 over the weekend.

“My target was to score more goals and get top scorers spot,” Sakala, who scored Zesco’s opening goal in their final game against Al Hilal in that 2-0 Group A win in Lusaka on Saturday, said.

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old striker said Zesco had come out of this years Caf Champions League campaign with valuable lessons.

“We have gained experience and we have moved a step forward,” Sakala said.

Sakala said the win over Al Hilal had also given them a boost ahead of Wednesday big Copperbelt derby away against Power Dynamos in Kitwe in a Faz Premier League  rescheduled Week19 fixture.

“We are now focusing and moving to the local league and this win has given us a boost before we play Power on Wednesday,” he said.
