Share

Wednesday was  good day for Zesco United, Zanaco and Power Dynamos in their Week 28 games today.

27/10/2010

ZANACO 2-KONKOLA BLADES 0

Zanaco’s belated and onerous battle to retain their Faz Super Division title began on a good note today after beating visiting Konkola Blades 2-0 at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka.

Lewis Macha and Lottie Nyambili found the back of the net in the 1st and 88th minutes of the game respectively.

Zanaco rise one place up the table from 12 to 11th place on 31 points after 20 matches with eight games in hand at the end of Week 28 matches.

ROAN UNITED 0-ZESCO UNITED 3

Zesco United scored three goals within the hour-mark to keep their pace in the Ndola clubs bid to win their third Super Division title after a 3-0 away win over Roan United at Kafubu Stadium in Luanshya.

Chileshe Kangwa was on target first in the 32nd minute to see Zesco go 1-0 into the break.

Midfielder Kondwani Mtonga scored his second goal in as many games on 52nd minute before defender Billy Mwanza slotted in a spot-kick in the 57th minute.

Zesco have opened a seven-point gap on 57 points and need to win both their remaining two games to end Zanaco’s hopes of retaining the title who can only garner 61 points from their remaining 10 games.

CITY OF LUSAKA 1-POWER DYNAMOS 2

Power Dynamos came from behind to beat hosts City of Lusaka 2-1 at Woodlands Stadium in a match the visitors outplayed the homeside.

However, Power were made to fight hard for the win in what was debatably a contentious match.

City took the lead in the 18th minute after Lawrence Lubinda headed in the opening goal as the hosts looked like heaping more misery on poor Power and their under-fire coach Fordson Kabole on the back of their failure in the Barclays Cup on Sunday.

However, Power came back fired-up pinning City down with a display of swift and passing football whose quality was not matched by the finishing.

Redemption came in the 70th minute when City’s Lameck Tembo handled the ball in the box only for referee Joseph Jere to show him red.

Lameck Mwale stepped-up to convert the resultant penalty that was heavily disputed by City players, fans and coach Fewdays Musonda who was sent to the stands in the 80th minute for repeatedly questioning Jere’s decisions.

Power punished moaning City with the winner on 88 minutes when Luka Lungu rifled in the ball from inside the box.

  1. Power you need to get goal scorers, there is no need to be playing very good football and never score goals. Football is all about goals.

  2. what are the two remaining games for Zesco. so that we bet for the trophy to come back to coperbelt where it belongs. I mean it will stay in ndola this year, next season it will here home in chingola and the following season it will stay in kitwe. maybe ngatwaumfwa uluse elyo tukashimako abakulusaka napa kabwe.

  3. How is Kalu running football in the country, people? Fightone and Zesco are playing good football. Is there anyway that people like Simukonda could be given something at football house? I really find him to be an accomplished soccer manager. His prowess could only be compared to that of the late Ben Bamfuchile. Kalu please show love to mother Zambia. I dont think Fightone can lose to Lybia.
