Zanaco Win, Zesco Utd Stutter

Zanaco made a bright start to their Super Division title defence thanks to a 2-0 home win over Lusaka Dynamos at Sunset stadium in Lusaka today.

However, it was not the same at Kafubu stadium in Luanshya today where Zesco United first win of the season continues to elude them.

Striker Venacious Mapande scored his first goal for Zanaco since joining from Chambishi this season in the 30th minute.

Winston Kalengo made sure of the points in the 81st minutes.

Meanwhile, in Luanshya, Zesco squandered a 1-0 lead to finish 1-1 at their adopted home in Luanshya against Kabwe Warriors.

Kangwa Chileshe put Zesco ahead in the 23rd minute and it looked like the home side was heading for their first league win of the season but Maonga Kabuku equalized for the share of the points in the 61st minute.

Zesco are still without a league win from three games played with three successive draws.
