Nkana and Power Dynamos both won their respective pre-season friendly matches played today as the build-up to the 2011 league season gathers momentum.
And Nchanga Rangers drew away also on Saturday in Zimbabwe where they played promoted FC Platinum at Maglas Stadium in Zvishavane.
In Solwezi, Nkana beat promoted Division 2 side Lumwana Rangers 2-1 courtesy of a brace from their Zambia Under-23 striker Evans Kangwa.
At Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe, Power beat fellow Super Division club Konkola Blades 3-0.
Kennedy Mudenda converted an early penalty before Luka Lungu gave Power a 2-0 halftime lead.
New signing and former Zesco United and Lusaka Dynamos midfielder Josphat Nkhoma made it 3-0 after the break.
Meanwhile in Zimbabwe, Rangers striker Mathews Macha scored his sides’ lone goal in their international pre-season club friendly against the Zimbabwe top-flight debutants in the south central mining town.
kalampa thats nice, i hope we are winning this years league!
Mighty Mufulira Wanderers – team yaziko..where are your friendly matches?
I watched the Nkana game, they were given a good run for their money.
Lumwana please take up the sponsorship of Nkana! We are tired of Mopani! They have done us harm!
Atase. I totally agree with you. I could just tell from the appearance of the Nkana KTK 722 bus that things were not good with team’s sponsorship. I really hope they manage to get back to Wusakile with no breakdowns.
Hello tHe bESt. Did Nkana travel to NW? I thought Lumwana came to Nkana. It is really disheartening to see the once glamorous team of Zambian football being reduced to pulp by Mopani! I wish some powerful company could take over. How did the team’s performance and prospect for the new season likely to be according to your assessment?
I still hope for time when ba ZNBC will start showing us these matches. some of us cant just travel to see live. when we can we do. I remember KCM when the began league sponsor wanted to do this but some powerful people blocked this. Copperbelt is indeed/arguably the future of ZED football
Lets go power 90
Nkana keep up the good work
love you kalampa boys
Atase. Yes Nkana travelled to Lumwana. The perfprmance is difficult to say because its either Lumwana is improving ( having been given a 10 – 0 bashing by ZESCO in December) or Nkana’s performance has dwindled. The game looked like a 50-50 affair and headed for a draw until stoppage time when Nkana scored the winner.
